CD Reviews

Exhilarating compilation of contemporary Middle Eastern musi

Julian Delacuesta | New York, NY USA | 06/12/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having listened to Rachid Taha's "Tékitoi" album, I bought this compilation as soon as I saw it. The track selection is very well put, not only on the musical selections, but also in the political spectrum that each of the songs were born. From the furious take on "Rock the Casbah" by Taha to the energizing funk notes of Egyptian singer Hakim with James Brown, the album also includes musicians such as Joe Strummer and bands like Asian Dub Foundation. The album takes the listener to a virtual trip to a Middle East much unknown for us Westerners: a Middle East where the prevailing sounds of Raï, Shaabi and Qawwali get together with Rock, Rap and Funk. More than "a good world music CD", this album is an exercise in cultural understanding and reaching out to individuals who, while belonging to different civilizations, yearn of a non-belligerent future."
