Tekitoi

Taha (from Algeria) is the ultimate “slash” artist. Punk /rock/ rai/ electronica/classical. Tekitoi (“who are you?”) blends it all with a solid techno rhythm and energy for days. It’s sexy, serious, angry, playful, humorous, and so damn good. Really great stuff.

**1. Wicked groove “dialogue” between a French & an Algerian.
**2. That fantastic, ironic, iconic cover of Rock the Casbah in Arabic.
3. Female chorus, strings, perc. Mid/uptempo, driving. Cool.
*4. Funky, catchy w/strong vocals & a great groove.
5. Opens slow, strongly Arabic – then he unleashes his punk roots.
*6. Great strings (Egyptian String Ensemble), beats, vox. Mid/up.
7. Arabic/Russian/Georgian lyrics. Duet/strings. Relaxed, hypnotic
*8. Dance groove w/powerful vocals, strings, a great sound.
*9. Dark, at times angry blend of vox/string/prog. Mid/up very cool.
