Details: On September 26, 1998, three of the best representatives of North African music, Rachid Taha, Faudel and Khaled, met on the Bercy stage for an exceptional concert. 1, 2, 3 Soleils , recording of the event, brings this concert to life faithfully and with passion, recalls this splendid pooling of the diversity of their origins and their music: Rachid Taha, landed rock and Carte de Séjour , was able, in his album "Diwan", to revisit the classical Algiers repertoire to turn it into fiery hymns, Khaled opened the doors of French homes to raï and was able to subtly integrate the best elements of French variety, and Faudel, younger generation, has assimilated all that. 1, 2, 3 Soleils , which stages many pearls of these three singers, sung solo, in duo or in trio - from "Aicha" (Khaled) sung by Faudel and Khaled, to the explosive "Ya Rayah" ( Taha) bringing together the three stars - is therefore much more than a simple tribute to raï. 1,2,3 Soleils is the perfect combination of traditional and modern, classical North African songs with the most sophisticated sound, mixing classical (strings and brass), traditional (Derbuka, Bendir, Arabic flute...) and modern instruments. (bass, guitar...), under the leadership of Taha's favorite producer, Steve Hillage, for an immense fraternal tribute to dance and celebration. --Elsa Forget
