“Arabop is a word I invented in order to reflect the presence of the essential characteristics of Arabic music and bebop lines in my music. This is my third album, a major departure from my previous works. It has completely new sounds, sounds that never have been created on any previous recording… I went beyond what is allowed to play on the instrument… After trying different ones I returned to the Stratocaster – the one that my parents bought me when I was in high school.” Michel Sajrawy
