Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ishtar was a Spanish duo formed in the late 1990s by singer Raquel del Rosario from the Canary Islands and actress-singer Najwa Nimri. They blended Middle Eastern melodies with Spanish rhythms, creating a sound that stood out from typical Spanish pop of the time.
Their 2000 single "Horchat Hai Caliptus" became their breakthrough track, featuring hypnotic melodies and exotic instrumentation that drew both fascination and criticism.
Other notable songs in their catalog include "Comme toi," "Je N'oublie Rien," and "Mille Et Une Nuits." They released several albums including "The Oasis" in 2000, "Communion" in 2004, and "7" in 2007, each exploring their particular fusion of Arabic, Spanish, and Indian musical elements.
