Synopsis

Album Description
For his 2005 release, La Kahena, Algerian born Cheb i Sabbah returned to his North African roots. Collaborating with a wide variety of North African female singers, Sabbah created contemporary folklore, rich with the authenticity of trance ceremonies filtered through the magic of his trademark production skills. La Kahena garnered both criticdal acclaimed worldwide and retail success, reaching #6 on the Billboard World Charts. Now, the morphing and mixing continues as Sabbah has personally selected a team of eleven remixers to further evolve and transform the music on La Ghriba: La Kahena Remixed, a landmark in today's electronica movement. La Ghriba cements Cheb i Sabbah's legacy as a pioneer and visionary in the exciting, fast-changing world of trance global music as an artist and as a producer. Temple of Sound, Bill Laswell and newcomers like Fnaire, Bassnectar, The Chakadoons, Yossi Fine and others contribute to these remixes. From the energy of Bhangra, to Morrocan street rap, to trance, to dub, these new collaborations cover the many facets of the outernational dance-floor.

CD Reviews

Electronica doesn't get more fun than this
Larry Bouchard | Prospect, KY USA | 08/14/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"My first DJ Cheb disc was "Shri Durgha" which is both wonderfully inventive yet reverent to its source. I usually hate remix discs of any kind, but liked what I heard at Barnes and Noble (first 15 seconds of each track) and bought it.



Unlike Durgha which felt organic and only the subtlest bit of touch by the DJ, La Ghriba as a remix project is just the opposite and happily so as its a great fun ride. Trippy infectuous third world grooves keeps the toe tapping, and keep this disc hogging the CD player from all comers.



I don't remember when the last time I thought of a piece of electronica as "great fun", maybe not since "Live Orb 93", but in any case it's been way too long. This one qualifies easily."
An Inspiring Mix

"I love the diversity of the tunes on this album. All of the cuts are well-mixed and smooth. The CD would provide the perfect backdrop for a sleek, modern cocktail joint. It brings together a number of diverse musical styles and weaves them together smoothly for an elegant sound. Moreover, the album contains enough diversity to make it an enjoyable backdrop for an entire evening. It is not like so many modern albums, where you feel like you are listening to the same song over and over again."
