"In the new generation of Algerian musicians who combine folk rhythms of his country with expressions of Western music, Rachid Taha is undoubtedly the most rocking of all..
With this album, recorded in 2001 in London, New Orleans and Paris, Taha brings the combination of rock and raï to its peak. The roster of musicians that made their contribution to the album is as cosmopolitan as the three locations chosen for recording, which leaves a mark along the entire CD."
Update: Rachid Taha died on 12 September, 2018. RIP.
