Great song! There’s a terrific upbeat remix of Kese Kese by Bally Sagoo – Bally Sagoo – Kese Kese (Beast of Asia mix)

The Track “Kese Kese” is taken from the sampler album “Asian Travels” (2000, Label Six Degrees Records). It is remixed by Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah and was originally published 1999 by Six Degrees Records album “Shri Durga”.

(Infos from Internet)
“The producer/promoter of a now defunct world music series, 1002 Nights, Sabbah presented a diverse range of musicians including Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and London-based Bhangra group, Bally Sagoo.

With a DJ career spanning three decades. Born in Algeria, a great source of his inspiration were his two uncles who were masters of the Malouf style, also known as Andalusian music. Cheb I describes himself as a ‘hajji’, a musical pilgrim of the spirit. His name is another reference to his pilgrimage: Cheb is a nickname used by Algerian rai singers; Sabbah means ‘morning’, but the link is actually to Hassan I Sabbah, the Persian mystic whose legendary library is rumoured to be the largest in the world.”
