World Music: Khaled and Faudel, "Aisha"
(France/Algeria) This is an excerpt from the landmark1998 1,2,3 Soleils concert at the Bercy Arena in Paris --which drew 15,000 fans-- with Khaled and fellow raï stars Faudel and Rachid Taha. Each singer represented a different aspect of Raï, with Khaled as the established innovator, Faudel as the up and coming heart throb/crooner, and Rachid Taha, the cutting edge rocker. Here, Khaled and Faudel wring every note from the former's smash hit "Aisha" penned by Jean Jacques Goldman. A Khaled concert without this song is unthinkable, as the crowd will simply demand that it be sung.
