Our Music
Batta Books started on the premise that kids love good music! We set out to find quality music produced using real instruments, traditional to Arabic music, and were beyond thrilled that The Brooklyn Nomads were up for collaborating with us!
The Brooklyn Nomads is a collective of musicians from various cultural and artistic backgrounds, rooted in Arabic and North African music. They have been featured on TED.com and were even joined by Yo-Yo Ma as a guest artist for the Kennedy Center's Arts Summit in Washington, DC. Check them out here. Give some of their music a listen here!
Hadi Eldebek led the charge with recomposing the music with oud and buzuq. Vocals were done by Hadi Eldebek alongside Maria Bechara and Nisrine Douidy. Music production by Ali Merghoub.
