More about Atlas Soul

The members are from different cultural backgrounds and countries: Tunisia, Morocco, Israel, France, Cuba, Italy, Lebanon, and the US, representing a genuine fusion of traditions and inspirations geared towards better understanding and world peace.

Atlas Soul sings in Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, French and English, making it not only a truly World Music band, but probably one of the only group of this kind currently residing in the U.S. Their lyrics speak of love, natural wonders, oppression, poverty, and of the melancholy of immigrants longing for their homelands.

The bands music incorporates many styles: Jazz, Rai, Funk, Shaabi, D&B, Gnawa, West African Highlife, Afro-Beat, Socca, Reggae, Samba, and Rock which might seems ambitious but come to them very naturaly.

Feedback: I love the basic style of this recording: musically, the haunting trombone in the background 'makes it' for me, although anyone who thinks that mucking about with turntables makes music and deserves a credit (Mr. williams!) needs a period in a correctional institution. Great vocals from Angela, and overall a nice style for an early evening show. TONY WICKHAM RADIO MALDWYN, UK

Feedback: Really enjoying Atlas Soul's "Mabrouka". It's amazing how the band's different influences manage to blend themselves into one tight sound. "Angelo Mio" is such a hauntingly beautiful song of longing. The vocals really stand up to the richly textured music. It's a song we will cherish in our collection for many years.

Feedback: Thank you for sending on this C.D. This is to use the old "cliche " something totally different. It is an exciting cornucopia of world music, and cultural rhythms blended and fused together to produce a sound which is both melodic and exciting. Superbly played, arranged, and produced this recording is highly innovative and listenable, and conjures up vivid images of exotic and far away places. I would certainly like to hear other work by Jacques Pardo and his group of talented Musicians. Great rhythms. Best Wishes John Reid Keith Community Radio 102.8 FM Keith Banffshire SCOTLAND
