Arabic R&B Singers
List of the Best Arabic R&B Artists
With backgrounds that trace through North Africa and the Middle East, Arabic R&B singers are among a very few that are translating the rhythm and blues culture into their own heritage. As traditional sounds thrive and popular forms of Arabic music have often been replayed and highlighted through the Arab world, Arabic R&B artists have had a limited presence in music, at least until recently.
While the list of Arabic R&B singers is not as extensive, the Arab World consists of hundreds of stars, mainly performing in much more notable genres. This has led to the rise of legends like Umm Kulthum, Warda, or Abdel Halim Hafez. While there are more recent stars of the Arab World, like Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, Assala, Hussein Al Jasmi, Tamer Hosny, Elissa, Ragheb Alama, or Sherine Mohamed Hamaki, only naming a few of the hundreds of stars that have touched the stage and performed across the world’s Arabic communities.
As we enter a time of openness and inclusion, Arabic R&B music has started to receive acknowledgement, while some of its performers have started to become eminent rhythm and blues artists. Stars like Jordanian singer Issam Alnajjar, riding high after the success of 2021’s album BAREE?. Moroccan artist Manal, gaining global notoriety for incorporating her own musical style into Arabic music. Ali Gatie and Massari, two Canadian artists who have emerged at the forefront of R&B music in Canada’s densely populated music industry.
The growth of R&B music within Arabic culture has occurred through a few dozen of artists, like the Palestinian artist Elyanna, who at times has been viewed as one of the next superstars. While not leaving out UAE’s Almas, Palestinian singer Lana Lubany, Syria’s Ghaliaa, Moroccan artist ABIR, and over a dozen others, the lineup of Arabic R&B singers contains artists that are not exclusive to the rhythm and blues genre, but are more so genre bending, creating their own brand and style of music.
