Product Description

From Amazon.com

Cheb (young) Khaled was a rebel in his day, an Algerian punk whose music blended racy lyrics with cheesy synths and drum machines in a sort of North African '80s techno. By the time he recorded this CD, he had dropped the Cheb and found that there was a whole world of sounds to choose from. Varying tracks were produced by Don Was and Phillipe Eidel. Eidel added a more lush, North African string orientation, while Was's tracks were pure-pop full of funky bass and R&B horns. Khaled's voice had matured as well, giving him assurance without losing that rebel edge. This recording had a lot of detractors when it came out, deriding it for being a betrayal of the rai "tradition." This is patently absurd, given that rai itself was only a generation old, and was created as a revolt against tradition. With N'ssi N'ssi, Khaled had grown, and so had his music. --Louis Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheb Khaled has a passion for his music and it shows!, 26 April 2000
By A Customer
I saw Khaled play in London when he was on tour with this album and it really was a site to behold. The apparently quiet crowd [consisting largely of Algerians], leapt into life as soon as Khaled came on stage. Listening to this album will make you realise why. If you have seen the film "The Fifth Element" then you might perhaps be familiar [without perhaps realising it] with the song "Alech Taadi". Perhaps seeing is believing, but the crowds went wild for this, and they obviously have maximum respect for this great performer. If Rai is your thing, then the king of Rai awaits you.
