Khaled wails with the power of an Islamic Wilson Pickett.
-
We Say...
The face of the new rai was — and still is — Khaled, formerly Cheb Khaled. (Cheb means "young" or "kid" and was taken on by most of the street singers as a slap at the old guard, all the Cheikhs and Cheikhas who had ruled the roost). No one else has the urgency, charisma or sheer exuberance that Khaled brings to a song, and on his early tracks, mostly recorded in the late '70s and '80s in Oran and found on Ya Taleb and King of Rai, he wails with the power of an Islamic Wilson Pickett, riding the arc of the melody and slamming up against the beat as if he were playing musical bumper cars.
