Zoom is Rachid Taha?s new solo record, his 9th
since he left Carte de Séjour in the 90?s. It?s
above all a return to grace placing the Algerian
singer at the forefront again.
Recorded between Paris and the Real World studios
in the UK, Zoom is produced by Justin Adams (Juju,
Triaboliques, Robert Plant), numerous and
prestigious guests have participated to the album:
ex-Clash Mick Jones, Brian Eno, Rodolphe Burger,
Cheba Fadela and Jeanne Added.

Zoom is another step down the musical path that
saw the Algerian singer marry electric guitars and
the Arab oud, but this is also a Zoom into the
future. Like every new album of his, Rachid Taha
wants to continue writing a story in which he
plays the hybrid, fantasy hero who?s one-third
Sinbad, one-third John Wayne and one-third Alan
Vega.

Zoom is the result of a way of thinking, an
aesthetic approach. And the symbol of this
convergence between the two cultural horizons that
produced him is the presence of Elvis Presley and
Oum Kalsoum on the same album. He does a
languorous, English and Arabic duet cover version
of the King?s Now Or Never, a romantic standard
adapted from the famous O Sole Mio. He samples Oum
Kalsoum?s voice on Zoom sur Oum, a very
Gainsbourgian tribute to the 'fourth pyramid of
Egypt? with words by Jean Fauque, long-time
lyricist of Alain Bashung, Rachid?s sorely missed
friend.

Zoom is made the most complete, most film-like
record of the career of a man who grew up under
the spell of Elvis and Bollywood films, spaghetti
westerns and Egyptian melodramas. It features a
star-studded cast including Mick Jones (formerly
of The Clash), Brian Eno and Rodolphe Burger, and
a cover version of Voila` Voila` (bonus track)
with special guests like Agne`s B, Rachida
Brahkni, Eric Cantona, Femi Kuti and Christian
Olivier to stand up to the prevailing xenophobia.
Like a tracking shot in a Godard movie, Zoom is
also a movement in which aesthetics underpin a
moral and political commitment. More than ever,
Rachid Taha?s asserts his unique style and
atypical identity - a rocking dervish whose rebel
spirit is always tinged with oriental sensuality.
