		Natacha spent much of the year in Europe, playing to a 3000 strong crowd at the Paris Olympia and performing in every major town in France, before rounding off the year with an appearance at Jean-Michel Jarre's Millenium Night spectacular, in front of the pyramids at Giza.
		Natacha's songs open a gateway to a world of heightened emotion, all cinematic colours and captivating reveries, expressing dreamlike yearnings and impossible sadnesses with a filigree intensity that's held in check only by the technical precision of her breathtaking vocal performances.

		Although her father was a Sephardic Jew, Natacha grew up in the Moroccan suburbs of Brussels, becoming fluent in French, Spanish, Arabic and English, immersing herself in Arabic culture, and learning from childhood the raq sharki - belly dance - techniques that she uses to devastating effect on stage today.
		Even more striking than Natacha's dance moves, though, is her voice, which swoops and soars, blending unfettered talent and the complexities of Arabic musical theory into a burst of sound that is thrilling, immediate and evocative.
		Natacha has worked with Tunisian singer-songwriter Walid Rouissi, Egyptian composer and Oud-master Essam Rashad, a plethora of Arabic musicians, and various members of Trans-Global Underground to create songs of love and yearning which genuinely fuse West and East.

		The little Natacha - 156 centimetres heels included, wonderful green eyes and Junoesque body as every "belly dancer" - has a clear view of her musical style: "Somebody called it "new raï", linking it with the music of Khaled, Cheb Mami, Rachid Taha e Bellemou Messaoud: but I totally disagree", she said.
		In the meantime, Natacha Atlas has become one of the most requested vocalist of the international scene, as her collaboration to the latest Franco Battiato's album ("Ferro Battuto") confirmed.

		Julianna, whom Atlas met when they were both guesting with Temple of Sound, also duets on the title track Something Dangerous, her rappy and R&B breaks contrasting with Atlas' slinky Arabic improvising mawaal, and on Just Like A Dream.
		The magnificent version of the James Brown/Betty Newcombe classic This is a Man's World gains an ironic new slant from being sung by a woman; she administers its final contextual repositioning by breaking into a liberated mawaal towards the end.

		Exiled in Northampton in the middle of the 70's, Natacha feels isolated in this English environment “where all that is foreign to the country is in the bad books” and where she is taken for her origins.

		Before we launch headlong into Natacha worshipping around here, let us spare a few words for her support act; I've no idea what they were called but they were rather fab.
		A brief costume change, during which a spectacular standing instrument was played with thimbles by one of her band to rapturous applause - on she came again, dressed in a much more leisurely and appropriate flowing robe.
		Banging something that looked the right size and shape to be a bohrain, Ms Atlas serenaded her way through the closing numbers, becoming herself captivated in the beats and at last looking comfortable, despite intermittent technical difficulties.

	Natacha Atlas - Something Dangerous - MyBindi.com : Music
		Natacha made good use of reggae in “Amulet” on Halim (which remains her best album), but this time the fusion doesn’t sound so hot.
		Natacha’s pronunciation is good, but the song is a fusion of filmi and electro cheese, and the lyrics are not particularly noteworthy.
		Natacha adds some drawn out, repeated vocals in Arabic and then English, which work surprisingly well against this dark background.

	Halim - Natacha Atlas
		Atlas' second solo record -- for some strange reason never released in America, where the first and third were -- continues in her vein of excellent Arabic singing combined with a wide variety of musical traditions, modern and ancient.
		Coleman's tracks, "Enogoom Wil Amar" and "Andeel," equally deserve notice for Atlas' vocals and his own striking, lush arrangements, while her collaboration with Egyptian musician/orchestra leader Essam Rashad, "Ya Albi Ehda," is a beauty in the vein of older Arabic popular music.
		No matter who's working with her performing what, though, it's Atlas' show all the way, her singing shimmering out with all the beauty one could ever want in a vocalist.
