Their first record sported a cover of a Palestinian with a slingshot, and they namechecked Arafat favorably in their lyrics. As Zebda are of Arab ancestry as well, that probably isn't so surprising; but really, the band is against any form of fascism they come across. This lends their lyrics (in French) a special significance, as they discuss -- unflinchingly -- what the immigrant experience is like in contemporary France. Their prior two records, "Le Bruit et L'Odeur" and "Essence Ordinaire," were flat-out astonishing -- a perfect blend of funk, rap, dub, middle-eastern sounds and melodies, and rock. Honestly, after hearing those records, I thought that no other band had sounded so urgent since the Clash (God bless ye, Mr. Strummer). And now "Utopie d'Occase." I love every track here. The band seems to have matured, too, as the sounds on the record are a bit more chill -- but believe me, this CD makes you want to dance like bloody crazy and sing in a language that you don't know. The beats are still great, and I'm willing to overlook that Zebda sort of re-write 'Le Petit Robert' from "Essence" for one track here. The flat-out joy of "C'est la fete" is enough to get the body rocking and the room moving. If you want to here the dawn of a new day in France -- and hopefully not the xenophobic, anti-Semitic France -- then you better get hip to Zebda, one of the biggest groups in the country now, boy-e-e-e-e.

很ragga风格,听了忍不住想跟着身体摆动。总体还不错。。。完全听不懂唱什么,又像法语又像西班牙语,可是看那歌手名字又像印度伊朗的名字。
