Five years, almost to the day, after the premature passing of this free-thinking rocker, we still mourn the loss of a pillar of rock, heavily tinged with oriental and electronic influences. 'CEKILUI' is the Best Of that brings together Rachid Taha's greatest hits for the first time, including tracks from his last two albums, "Zoom" and "Je suis Africain". Rediscover all the spontaneity and artistic openness of this powerhouse of audacity and freedom.
Rachid Taha elevated to the status of French popular music this pop sound, which regularly delved into the intricacies of electronic music and rock, bringing us closer to our North African cousins. A part of diversity and freedom vanished with the disappearance of this unique artist, but he left us a body of work through which we perceive the full intelligence of his thought and the spontaneity of his music.
'CEKILUI' takes you from his beginnings with Carte de Séjour to the iconic "Je Suis Africain", passing through the legendary "Voila, Voila", "Non, Non, Non" or "Barbes", not forgetting the anthems "Barra, Barra'" and "Ya Rayah".
