Yemeni musician Dia Sharaf is here to blaze Yemenโs untouched music scene with his pulsating single, โYemenitronica.โ
The track opens with zooming electronic sounds, setting an anticipatory atmosphere. As the pulsating beats enter, you are immediately drawn into the fusion of genres.
Throughout the song, thereโs a delightful interplay between the traditional and the modern. The artist makes an intriguing move by killing the music in the midst of the song. Just then, the traditional music awakens it with exotic and organic music infused with grounding beats. The organic and electronic back-and-forth creates an exhilarating contrast that keeps us engaged. Meanwhile, the coalescing of the both gets us satiated with its otherworldly aura.
Sharafโs influences, including Vangelis, Yanni, Hans Zimmer, and Dead Mau5, are evident in the intricate arrangement and orchestration of the music. The composition is dynamic and rich, reminiscent of the cinematic grandeur associated with these artists.
In his accompanying music video on YouTube, the artist combines the electronic and orchestral track with Yemenโs lush greenery captured picturesquely and professionally. The cinematography is exquisite, with Baraโa dancers and instrumentalists playing along. Meanwhile, the artist himself stands on a hilltop overlooking nature and performs his part live for the scenery to come to life with the music.
โYemenitronicaโ is an auditory experience that bridges cultures and genres. It testifies to music harmoniously trespassing and transcending boundaries. In the formation, it creates an enchanting experience.
Check out the music video of โYemenitronicaโ on YouTube and support Dia Sharaf so we can see more of his spirited endeavors.
