English term or phrase: Backup band/singer
Hey everybody. I was wondering if anybody knew the Arabic equivalent for backup band/singer. No context is needed since the dictionary gives only one meaning to the word backup pertaining to music.

Much obliged for any help on this.

Have a great day all.
