[irlandos1]

this song smokes

[Nyrillia]

der is doch voll zu ;)

[ROYSHKOV]

where was this concert?

[darkharpy13]

I automatically fell in love with the song and the Rachid when I first this song.

And, is it just me, or does Rachid seem to be drunk while he was performing this song? This is my first time seeing this performance and I could tell he's totally in limbo.

[ctm5]

hecho mierda Rachid!!!

wow

[Genemusic111]

What is Brian Eno doing here?

[AndrewMann552]

wow, you can tell Rachid hits the bottle hard!

[jackcharlatan]

I think all the videos I've seen of Rachid Taha are of him on stage possibly drunk. Wasted.

[elmisticco]

Indeed; I don't why the guy is always wasted on stage?

[Verflucht78]

That was arabian funk rock! fucking awesome!

[BoogeePictures]

Rachid is great, I hope he get's that little thing with the alcohol fixed....Barra Barra is a genious song, I can listen to over and over and it just doesn't get boring...awesome!

[samurai2150]

yes. It delivers me a great deep feeling every single time I listen to it.. Really brilliant..I hope he stops drinking, cause even when he's drunk on stage he's great, imagine him without it..I think much better.

[elmisticco]

It's got very powerful lyrics too.

[Birdmn]

I've been a Rachid Taha fan for several years now and I always fantasied that Eno would work with him... produce a record.. but this is a start perhaps...?

[PontifexPotens]

Rachid sounds particularly bad in this particular performance, his earlier ones are much better. Was something the matter with him here?

[elmisticco]

Alcohol is the problem.

[jamaisn]

barra barra means outside the house or exactly in the street. It is not get out get out as some people have mentioned it.

[nabylg]

bonjour,

it's depand in out slang ur talking :

BARRA BARRA cen be : "GET OUT GET OUT" or " OUTSIDE THE HOMELAND "

but in this song it's more about the situation ,of immigrante pp as in france....

[MechRulez]

I'm Arab and I assure you, Barra Barra in this song means "Go out!"

[linzo005]

MechRulez,

Barra means out but it is not Arabic,it is Algerian

Out in formal Arabic is kharej

Algerians in general speak darja or Algerian,a mixture of languages and Tamazight

[MechRulez]

@linzo005 Actually it's very commonly used in different Arabic dialects today and it has been "Arabized" centuries ago, the world "Barra" is used in not only Algeria, but in many Arabic-speaking countries such as Egypt, the Levantine countries and some Gulf dialects.

It's originally Persian or Indian by the way but was transmitted to the Arabs and then from the Arabs to the places they conquered.

[linzo005]

MechRulez ,

Yeah,that is right!But in school when we learn Arabic we don't use the word barra.

We use only the formal word kharej

Persians use the borowed Arabic word kharej too and they have something closer to the word barra

Do you consider Algerois Arabic or a mixture of languages?

[MechRulez]

I believe Algerian is majorly Arabic, but heavily influenced by other languages, since I am Egyptian for instance and I can understand the Algerian dialect.

I might not be a reference though since I am in love with the Algerian Rai music already, probably I was taught the dialect this way, but still I didn't find it very hard to learn.

[linzo005]

@MechRulez

Most Algerians are Berbers or Imazighen and arabized Imazighen

[MechRulez]

@linzo005 Oh yeah I was actually referring to the tongue, not the people. Algerians are not necessarily Arabic ethnic wise, true, just like how it is in most Arabic-speaking countries today.

Tell me; does it annoy you when people call you an Arab? would you rather call yourself a Berber/Imazighy or Arab?

[linzo005]

MechRulez ,

I condere myself Amazigh,because that what God created me

Some people tried so hard to erase our identity for political and arrogant reasons,but it didn't work

They use Islam as an excuse when Islam is against any kind of discrimination

[madamcherif]

@linzo005 and what´s mean barrah or barrauah....they use this word in Tunisia anyway...maybe it´s not arab langue ...berber then....

[linzo005]

@madamcherif Barra means outside in Algerian and it is the same in Tunisian

The meaning could change if you add another word like in Algerian when we say aya barra,and it means go out or go away,depends of the situation.

I am not sure if it is Amazigh word or not,because my Tamazight is poor

But i am sure it is not an Arabic word.

[mariannora]

malconcio il ragazzo

[Leffe81]

Awesome beat, dark and powerful, must be a blast to see it live.

Could someone please post the meaning of the song? I'm swedish, havent got a clue what he is singing about. The lyrics "bara bara" ("get out, get out" somebody wrote) sounds scarily like automatic guns blasting, especially from 3:40. Anyway, powerful song!

[patrickpaschke]

its about that people no longer have trust in each other, that there is only hate and violence outside (barra barra) and that things are getting worse

[brianeclus]

You got it Patrick .. the Dalai Lama says that mistrust is the basis for war ... forgive my not quoting how well he expresses it .. but you have the sentiment right. And the meaning is about as deep as you can go when it comes to the basis of war.

[OthiemAlWalid]

great song, taha is a genius, awesome that Eno is in there

[BasilC1983]

who's the war monger who gave my last comment a thumbs down?

[IPAColosseum]

That's really quite unnecessary -- if someone disagrees with you, they have every right to "thumbs down" your comment as well as mark your message as Spam. It's called free speech... one of those American tenets you most likely forget about.

[OthiemAlWalid]

it was my understanding that god usually does not bless murderers, whether they be american soldiers, sectarian gangs that murder their neighbors, or members of a "resistence" that blow up their countrymen by the dozens or hundreds with trucks full of explosives.

in fact i'd be willing to bet he frowns on killing in general

[dandroid9000]

HEAR HEAR !

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

a shame that they didn't use effects on the percussion

[Bedziak005]

Thanks for answer.

[lekorgm1]

des bon paroles merci

[Bedziak005]

What is the instrument on which is played the main theme??

[evedday]

Bedziak005, the instrument's arabic name is "OUD". It's the predecessor of the western "LUTE" (but they are not the same thing). And the player's name (featured in the video) is Hakim Hamadouche.

[Nupharluteum]

In this concert Hakim Hamadouche plays an algerian mandole, but it's an oud what you hear in the album. Mandoles are fretted and ouds are fretless.

[KIZILSUNGUR]

Sonunda doğru düzgün bir video bulmuşsunuz. :D

[gypsiegyrl]

RACHID TAHA xoxoxoxoxoxxxxxxxx ...Hakim est trop super aussi

[faudelz]

Rachid Taha is revolutionary in terms of being the first Arab singer who came up with the Arab Rock music.

[linzo005]

@faudelz Rachid Taha is an Amazigh Algerian singer and not Arab

[algedz]

@linzo005 

[algedz]

@linzo005 il est de sig ......l'ouest de l'algerie .il est arabe .......... est je suis berber

[linzo005]

@algedz Etre de Sig or d'Oran ca veut pas dire que tu es pas un amazigh

Deja sa famille sont venu de la Kabylie et les algeriens sont amazigh en general

[TheLindaDZ]

@linzo005 tais -toi vous chercher toujours a kabylizer tout les arabes ,je suis Algérienne et arabe et fière de l'être et si t'es pas content bahhhh tant pis pour toi

[linzo005]

@TheLindaDZ Au contraire,c'est vous qui chercher a arabiser tout les amazigh.Votre complexe d'inferiorte est bien connu,tete de merde.

Lui meme il a dit que il est amazigh.Alors ferme ta gueule,salope...et rentre chez toi en Arabie si tu es pas contente que une grande majorite des algeriens sont amazigh.

[TheLindaDZ]

@linzo005 euh dis moi ,Rachid taha c a toi qu'il a dit kil était kabyle pffffffffff va écouter allo trissiti et laisse le rai tranquille yarham papak et qui t'a di ke la majorité des Algeriens c des amazighs ?? tu les a compté ??

[linzo005]

@TheLindaDZ Sont pere vient de la Kabylie et lui meme a dit que il est amazigh dans interview...mais ca veut rien dire.C'est pas seulement les kabyles qui sont amazigh,y'a les imazighen partout en Algerie.Les algeriens sont en general de souche amazigh genetiquement et la science a donne' ses preuves.

Ca veut pas dire que il y'a pas des algeriens qui sont pas arabes,noirs ou meme turques.

Une raciste comme doit retourner la ou tes ancestres sont venu et merci d'avance si le fait.:)

[algedz]

@algedz !!!!! how do u know he's amazigh ? or berber ?????? does he said that ? im berber !!!! kabyle and im sick of this stories ............ all the time , arabe , berber ..... chaoui ...we're all algerians and who cares about the rest

[murcuryvapor]

@faudelz John Berberian and the Rock East Ensemble

[Freedom2Morocco]
