Belgian singer born in Brussels, known for blending Arabic vocal traditions with Western electronic and acoustic music; emerged from collaborations with Transglobal Underground and released solo albums from the mid-1990s onward.

Born in Brussels; of mixed Arab (father) and European (mother) heritage as noted in reviews; early career associated with Transglobal Underground; sings in Arabic and English; notable solo albums include Diaspora (1995), Gedida and Ana Hina (a reinterpretative collection referencing Fairuz).

Three reviews on DeBaser highlight Natacha Atlas's fusion of Arabic vocal traditions with Western electronic and acoustic palettes. Diaspora (1995) and Gedida are praised for their sonic hybridity; Ana Hina reinterprets Fairuz with chamber-like arrangements. Overall, reviewers admire her expressive Arabic phrasing and cross-cultural synthesis.

For:Listeners of world music, fans of Arabic vocal traditions, and listeners who like electronic/world fusion.

 The sound of globalization carries, among others, the name of Natacha Atlas, a singer from Brussels but with a curious mix of blood in her veins: the Arab blood of her father and the British one of her mother.
