The Best Of Natacha Atlas
Mantra
WORLD
\'The Best of Natacha Atlas\' is a retrospective on the five solo albums so far recorded by one of the very few singers to effectively unite the powers and languages of the popular music\'s of the Middle East and Europe. The sweeping energy, wild rhythms and seductively slithering maqams of Middle Eastern music are at last beginning to excite the opinion-formers, moving in on the fashionable end of Western club culture. NATACHA ATLAS has not just been a pioneer in that; right from her first solo album, 1995\'s \'Diaspora\' - and even before that as a member of the band that were there pretty much before anyone, TRANSGLOBAL UNDERGROUND - her music has been fully-formed evidence that here is a collision of cultures of great potency. The title \'Best Of...\' perhaps implies that if you listen to this compilation you can skip the rest, but that\'s very much not the case. This one isn\'t a digest; seven of the sixteen tracks are as they are on her albums, but the other nine consist of new mixes or edits, some with new vocals, some excellent re-workings and one song not on any of her existing CDs. Keep the CD running after the last track, and by way of a coda you\'ll hear an example of just what an impressive live performer Natacha Atlas is: a version recorded live in France of \"Moustahil\" a song that originally appeared on \'Halim\'. Also available on DVD all of Natacha Atlas\' solo videos and those shot with her band, Transglobal Underground, as well as interviews and live footage. DVD 9 - ALL REGION compatible - PAL.
