"Serge Gainsbourg both charmed us and repelled us, which made him a familiar enigma, a dazzling mystery. Simultaneously Jekyll and Hyde, shy and provocative, modest yet exhibitionist, masculine and feminine, he represents the two extremes of desire and natural urges. Gainsbourg is almost unique in French music. Only he and Léo Ferré developed their own texts and their arrangements to such an extent. Gainsbourg wrote and composed not as an author or a musician would, but like a painter. He used words, notes and instruments as he would have done colors and paintbrushes."

"Known to many as 'the diva of Arab song,' Moroccan singer Aicha Redouane has been delighting Arab and Western audiences since the 90s. A resident of France since her earliest childhood, Redouane has sung in various styles. In the late 80s, she devoted herself to the musical tradition of the Arab maqam, establishing a name for herself not only as a singer but also as a qanun player. Her latest release, Maqam d'amour, is based on 8th century poems written by the Sufi saint Rabi'a Al-'Adawiyya, but the message is timeless."
