The album was re-released by Stern's Music and Intuition Music.

The title track Kutché is the cover of a popular Moroccan song, originally named Moul el Koutchi. This name comes from the Spanish coche and indicates horse-drawn carriages used for the transport of people, now mainly tourists, in cities like Marrakech or Meknes. The lyrics are very allusive and can be interpreted in different ways. La Camel is a cover of a Cheikha Rimitti song and Chebba is a cover of an Ahmed Zergui song.
