RRA is Sara Abdelaal, producer and vocalist based in Minneapolis, MN, best known as a bass/synth player for minimal synth/post-punk trio CLAPS. Her new solo album "رقص القمر (Moon Dancing)", which came out this year on The Conservatory Records, is a collection of meticulously selected egyptian sounds and minimal wave cuts, all charged with serious dub energy (RRA quotes UK dub unit New Age Steppers and Lebanese singer Fairouz as inspirations). Her music reminds me of last year's minimal trip-hop from Dijit, but feels more playful and head-nod-friendly thanks to more established song structures.
