The Freelancers
1999
NROriginally, the trio was supposed to consist of Khaled, Faudel, and Cheb Mami, but at the time, Mami was signed to a record label that was a competitor of Khaled and Faudel's (Universal Music) and was unable to participate in the project. He was replaced by Rachid Taha. This unique concert took place at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on September 26, 1998, and was released as an album by Barclay that same year. The concert, which featured a number of Algerian classics and the most famous songs by these three artists, sung solo, in duets or in trios—from Aicha (Khaled) sung by Faudel and Khaled, to Ya Rayah (Taha) bringing together all three singers—combined classical instruments (strings and brass), traditional (darbouka, bendir, Arabic flute) and modern instruments (bass, guitar), under the leadership of producer Steve Hillage, former guitarist and singer with the band Gong, who plays solo and rhythm guitar.

10.0What musical genre can claim to have gone, in the space of fifty years, from a hidden cabaret in Oran to Super Bowl halftime? Born in Algeria at the end of the Second World War, the raï wave spread from the cabarets of western Algeria to the cassette shops of Barbès in Paris, before sweeping the world at the end of the 1980s. its hybridization, the intoxicating music traveled from Algerian and French weddings to the biggest international stages, before suddenly disappearing from the radar at the dawn of the new millennium. Icons that have disappeared, including Cheikha Remitti and Prince Hasni, to young heirs, passing by the star Khaled, the collector Hadj Sameer trace the tumultuous course of this musical genre, between clandestinity, planetary glory and resistance.
