## Description

Product Description
        	  
        	  
        		  
        			Rachid Taha is a phenomenon in Arabic music. With his band, he brilliantly marries the driving rhythms and elaborate melodies of contemporary Arabic popular music with the forceful sound of post-punk guitar rock.... The raw sweat of his music and a well-known stance against racism and hypocrisy have earned him a high standing throughout Europe, the US and the Middle East.Rachid's music is intrinsically political and topical, and very much the music of the Arab Street. He is a person who feels his role is to make both a cultural and political statement: he doesn't separate the two things. Diwan 2 is a cornucopia of poetry and music - purity and truth - as only Rachid Taha can do.

    If you are a sentient life form with the capacity for aural perception then beg borrow or steal to get this. If not available from your local Planet's Amazon then try UWW.Amazon.AlphaCentauri.Univ.Wit in combination with ability and delivery that can cross ANY language barrier. This clever witty "Maghreb Chansonnier" shows that what we all share in common, far exceeds any cultural differences we may imagine exist, and brings a smile to the most alien of faces.

    Guardian Review
  

*by M***N on 18 October 2006*









  
  
    Two years on from his celebrated reworking of the Clash anthem, Rock el Casbah, Rachid Taha has gone back to his roots. It's been eight years since the wild man of French-Algerian music released his first Diwan album, explaining: "This is my version of John Lennon's Rock'n'Roll album - like him, I want to sing the songs that influence me and pay homage to my culture." This time there are songs from Blaoui Houari, a major star in Algeria in the 1950s, and Mohamed Mazouni, whose Ecoute Moi Camarade was discovered by Rachid in his parents' attic. They are updated with classy, rhythmic production work from Steve Hillage, making use of anything from hand drums to sweeping strings.Taha proves that he can handle slinky, declamatory songs and ballads, but the best tracks are the two written by him and Hillage, with the reed flute and percussion driving on his urgent vocals.

*by O***E on 30 October 2006*









  
  
    A belated follow-up to his 1998 classic Diwan, Rachid Taha's latest again pairs the French-Algerian with producer Steve Hillage, once guitarist with proto-trance pranksters Gong, on a selection of songs old and new designed to offer a survey of North African styles and concerns. Musically, this accommodates everything from the cascades of kora glissandi on "Agatha" to the blend of ney flute and oud on "Rani", with the breathiness of Kadi Bouguenaya's Gasbar Oranais lending a wonderful grainy texture to the hypnotic desert-blues of "Josephine" and "Ah Mon Amour". Contrary to the edgy attitudes of some rai music, there's an underlying good humour and liberality to several songs: in "Agatha", a cuckolded husband makes light of his wife's light-skinned baby ("Oh pals, it's better to take it for a joke/ No need to cry for so little matter"), while there's more humour in Taha's corpsing chuckle in "Ecoute Moi Camarade", whose reggae-beat groove, Arabic strings and muted jazz trumpet is the CD's most intriguing crossover.
