Sounds Like:

... Peter Horcher is a well-rounded pianist who obviously has a sense of humor (he throws a boogie woogie solo right in the middle of a jazzy workout): in this way he reminds me of Fats Waller, but is working with a broader palette: some rock piano reminiscent of Leon Russell can also be heard. The vocals and liner notes are in a language I assume is either Arabic or Amazigh (the language of the Berber people): sometimes it sounds like German. Listeners expecting some familiar Middle Eastern sounds like belly dance or rai may be disappointed, but ORAK NAA NAA is a fun recording and a lot less pretentious than many jazz recordings: it's a recommended pick and stands out from the crowd.

Heraus kommen extrem tanzbare Stücke wie das von Peter Horcher geschriebene „Kuskus“, bei dem es die Zuhörer endlich von den Sitzen reißt.....
