Editorial Review:

Since the early 1990s, rai pop star Khaled has steadily smoothed over the rough edges of the carefree North African dance-pop sound that brought him great acclaim--and criticism--in his homeland of Algeria. Since then Khaled has lived in Paris and aimed toward more Western horizons, exploring the sounds of R&B and reggae with mixed success. On Kenza, recorded mostly in Paris and London, Khaled has found just the right balance of Arabic elements and heavy Western rhythms--not to mention memorable melodies. In a move of taste and poise, he duets with Indian singer Amar. The effect is infectious as Khaled's vocals dance and tumble while a fire of horns, keyboards, strings, and percussion blazes on. Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy lends his talents to a few tracks, and the overall feel of Kenza is one of a rebellious Algerian rai star reaching full artistic maturity and grace. This is his finest yet. --Karen K. Hugg

Khaled presents us a much more mature, creative, and melodic album. All tracks are very good and some just transport you I don't know where...

I was completely blown away by this particular CD from Khaled. It brought a new knowledge of "Arabic/French" to my collection of Arabic music. The recordings were very articulate and clean, making the whole CD very listenable. The use of horns in a particular manner on a particular piece was especially vibrant. It brought me to think of the old "Chicago", "Steely Dan" horn arrangments, which were very uplifting themselves. All in all, i'm glad i made this purchase.

Khaled is the Algerian version of Abba. Good time party music, happy danceable tunes but little depth. Personally I was a little bit disappointed because I was expecting something a bit less poppy (so many people whose taste I respected had recommended it to me). This is not something I would listen to outside of a party context. If you like the Arabic sound and want something with a little more depth and orignality then I recommend the following artists: Idir, Souad Massi and Rachid Taha.

Khaled has done so much good Rai that I was surprised to hear this. This is not the kind of music that inspired me to dance like the music of Sahra. Khaled should stick to what he does best.

I heard Khaled for the 1st time in Sahra, and I just fell in love with the guy's music. I couldn't wait for Kenza, and I find it to be very different from Sahra. There is definitely less of that reggea mix in Kenza, but Kenza is a whole lot more subtle than Sahra, as if Khaled's mood had changed like the wind in the Sahara. Some tracks I absolutely love, like "C'est la nuit". This ballad is very soulful and speaks to the heart. All in all, Kenza is another face of Khaled, and that is what I find ... Read More
