Since Rachid Taha last CD (Ole Ole) on EMI Records back in 1996, I have felt a massive void in my life. Ole Ole carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. While no new Rachid Taha album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in South America. I wish that “Ole Ole” album was instrumental.
After few listenings I started to like Nokta more and more. Rachid Taha rocks harder than ever with Baadini. Voice and instruments in Comme un Chien complement each other. You have to get essence of the Boire’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Zavma is the most memorable and marvelous. Opening track Tabla Motown shows the best of Rachid Taha. Non Non Non multinat. Version - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. As always, Rachid Taha’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. I can’t stop humming along Kelma. Non Non Non is the song that really did it for me. I like the idea behind Ole Ole.
