Baladi Bounce is for anyone that had to sneak out to go to the club. Anyone who dodged their parents missed calls on the dancefloor. Those who had to fight to dance! Baladi Bounce seeks to embody the sound of emancipation. It’s a sonoric project that amplifies Arabic rhythms within a global club context, fusing together chaabi, bouyon, perreo, and beyond. It represents a culmination of shared subjugation and the liberation of peoples who are worlds apart yet intimately connected. Baladi Bounce encourages YOU to shake some ass in the name of FREEEEEEEEEDOM!
