"For those who listened to, or familiar with, the [1, 2, 3 Soleils: Taha, Khaled, Faudel] concert, this DVD offers you the opportunity to witness that concert; maybe not physically, but virtually. I personally wish that some day I can attend similar concerts, and hope that the Rai music will reach great heights in the USA, just like it did in France and Europe; regardless of the language barrier. This concert is definitely one of the most successful concerts in the whole world without exaggeration. Many top-of-the-line musicians and producers from around the globe have participated in making this one great concert, such as Steve Hillage. The "1, 2, 3 Soleils: Taha, Khaled, Faudel" CD is an entry-level to rai, but the DVD definitely is one that you have to add to your collections. It basically shows exactly what was going on in the concert. It also have a bonus titles for after and during the concert chit-chats of the King of Rai, Khaled, and Faudel and Rachid Taha. One surprising guest to these chit-chats is Sting. You'll see him greeting and complimenting Khaled. I now believe that this might have been the same time in which Sting was looking for a Middle Eastern debut in his last Album, Brand New Day. In those days, I think that's how came across Cheb Mami. The only drawback to this DVD, as opposed to what I've anticipated, is that it didn't include all the songs that were song during this concert. However, it included the majority of them."

Could someone give a list of songs on this DVD?

"I just love, love, love the CD I have with 13 songs on it. Much to my chagrin, I've found out that there is a really beautiful and soulful song that's not on that CD I bought! Is this song on the DVD version of the concert? (...) WELL I BOUGHT IT SINCE I FIRST ASKED THIS QUESTION!!--AND I'M SO HAPPY I DID! :}There are 4 different songs on the DVD, including the one I wanted so much. So I say, if you bought the CD, love it, and think you have most of the concert already: WRONG! It's worth buying the DVD too, for the thrill of watching the live concert, AND to listen to those 4 extra really beautiful songs!"

C'est excellent!

"This is an exciting and wondeful dvd to honor Rai music and its' superstars. Only if I could have been at the concert. If you like the music, seeing them sing with the wild crowd is even more exciting. All the hits that you like are on it!"
