4.0 out of 5 stars 36 minutes of excellent Rai music, June 23, 1999

This review is from: Moroccan Rai (Audio CD)

Buyers need to be warned that there is only 36 minutes of music on this cd. While the music itself is excellent, in my opinion this amounts to only half a cd. I recommend instead the specially priced 4CD anthology "Maxi Rai" on Beur FM / Declic Communications / Blue Silver records. It includes tracks by the Chebs Mimoun, Mami, Khaled, Hasni, Tati, among others, with each of the four discs containing over an hour's worth of fabulous music. Buy it first.

For those of you who think me anti-Arab because I'm anti-Islam, stick this in your boom box. I love Rai. This isn't the best Rai I've ever heard, but it is pretty damn good. For those of you who are anti-Arab, and shame on you, Rai is secular music; not Secular Humanist, that has no place on any continent. This is, as I said, the Punk/Rock of Northern Africa: defiant, alive and for the most part gender equal. Buy it. Annoy the rednecks, but arm yourself beforehand. The Burgenius never said he was a pacifist; he said he was a parasite.
