With his inexhaustible creativity he achieves to unfold the entire magic of raї and develops it into an electrifying mix of afro, jazz, reggae and European pop. World Music label Atlas Music pro produced Kadero's first album and was able to win fantastic musicians for the studio recordings who incredibly enriched the album with their commitment and artistic inspiration.

Press Quotes
...................................................................................................

Folker!: "This takes off. Takes off with high speed! [...] All tracks are original compositions and all of them are special. A funk-rai speeds like the entry lane of Frankfurt, an oriental-reggae creates speculations that Jamaica is situated in North Africa, then a chanson-like song with Spanish rhythm and likewise guitar sounds, or a pop-song has a force of attraction like Khaled’s greatest hits (which were regularly not written by him). Some songs have a strong Egyptian influence. Besides Joe Zawinul - bass player Linley Marthe, it is Otto Lechner on the accordion and guitarist Karl Ritter who present an outstanding performance, but it is not fair to point them out, because all of the musicians are brilliant. A clever arrangement, high speed, fantastic groove, not overloaded – this is how you do it, if you want to do it correctly." (translation from German)

Falter: "Long awaited, it is finally out: the first album of the Moroccan raї singer Kadero who has provided Vienna’s music scene with exceptional and stirring sounds during the last years. […] Musicians such as Karl Ritter on the guitar, Zawinul-bass player Linley Marthe and accordion virtuoso Otto Lechner, his biggest supporter in Vienna, weave a distinctive and groovy sound carpet on which Kadero's hypnotising voice takes off in the direction of Africa. Sounds great and the live performance speeds like the fire brigade." (translation from German)

Freizeit-Kurier: "Raї is groovy North-African power-pop, a sudorific mix of traditional shepherd music, jazz, soul and rock. Internationally known names are Khaled – yes, the one with Aisha, Cheb Mami and Faudel who captured Europe starting from France. And now there is another one – Kadero who lives in Vienna and whose CD is the central point for me since last week. Kadero sings easily in one champions-league with Khaled. His 12 songs are fantastic, almost magic. They awake a desire for palm trees, sun shine, beach and colourful bazaars, street-cafes, and hot evenings and parties where nobody can sit still. (translation from German)
