Amr Diab (born 1961, Port Said) is the best-selling Middle Eastern artist of all time and the undisputed architect of Mediterranean Arabic pop.

Why Diab Works on Vinyl

Diab's production style — layered percussion, Mediterranean instruments, rich basslines, polished studio arrangements — translates well to vinyl. The format's warmth softens the otherwise crisp contemporary production and gives his recordings more depth than digital playback provides. His 1990s recordings in particular benefit from this.
