In honor of all the musical talent our region has to offer, the MILLE team—who all consider themselves as music connoisseurs—have compiled a definitive playlist of some of the best Arabic songs for your listening pleasure. This was no easy playlist to curate, of course, but mining our Spotify feeds, we were able to pluck some of the most essential tracks that we have been playing on repeat. Through this process, you’ll get to know each of us a little better—because, let’s face it, nothing tells you more about someone than their taste in music.
What made the cut? There’s a little something for everyone on this playlist—whether you want to dance, get hyped up for your next workout, or shed some tears. The tracks chronicle the region’s musical output over the last couple of years, from Shabjdeed and Balti to Kiss Facility and Tul8te. So, please sit back, bump up the volume, and buckle up for a ride of epic tunes.
