Natacha Atlas released her first solo album, Diaspora, in the summer of 1995, which saw her combining the dubby, beat-driven global dance of her long-time associates Transglobal Underground, with the more traditional work of Arabic musicians like Tunisian singer-songwriter Walid Rouissi and Egyptian composer and Oud-master Essam Rashad.
The result is a collection of songs of love and yearning which genuinely fused West and East.
