Enchanting Berber music from Algeria

12/07/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Another great CD by Idir! Both the music and the lyrics are excellent (that's Idir's style). Idir's and Mila's (his sister) voices are beautiful and soothing to the soul. The CD is a selection of songs from Idir's first and second albums that came out in the late seventies and early eighties. Highly recommended to anyone interested in discovering modern Berber music."

A much-loved album from the 70's

09/15/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album was a huge hit both musically and psychologically in Algeria in the mid 70's. Idir was the first Kabyle (non Arab) musician to make Berber music that the entire country listened to(and loved) The title track is a hauntingly beautiful song between a father and daughter and became a hit in France and was translated into several other languages. Track #5 is a fabulous dance song that no Algerian can remain seated through--and nor will you. Amazon's selection of Algerian music is simply not complete without this sentimental favorite."
