For today, I wanted to share with you "𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐦 (𝐉𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞)", an instant catchy 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡 track from 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐛, taken from the 2nd album recorded in 1978 in Paris by the musician (saxophone player) & composer 𝐀𝐛𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐤𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 "𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐡" 𝐊𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐣𝐚. Abdelkader "Freh" Khodja was born in 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐢-𝐁𝐞𝐥-𝐀𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐬 (Algeria), on the 1st of January 1949. At the age of fifteen, he began musical studies, entered the Conservatory, where he opted for the saxophone. Two years later, he began playing at open air dances, banquets, etc. In March 1968, he travelled to France, and worked in different jobs to earn his living, including grill man in a restaurant. Then, he joined his brothers in Lyon, where he became a semi-professional performer at the city's Winter Palace, and met his first band with whom he played Soul music. Back in Paris, he and his group gradually appeared as stars at the "𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦" concert hall. After several tours in clubs, Freh abandoned Soul music for varieties, and left France for the United States, to Greenwich Village, to play in one of the most sumptuous establishments in the region. It was there that, by chance, improvising on his guitar & backed by his musicians, he sang for the first time in Arabic, which was instantly a big success. Thus, was born an idyll : merging Arabic and pop influences in his music. From that moment on, he made a point of honor to defend during all his musical career the promotion and acknowledgement of Arabic language in Western pop songs.
