Editorial Reviews

2008 release. Cheb Khaled's status in the Arab music world is undeniably legendary with a career spanning over 20 years. He's earned the title of "The King of Rai", and has become one of the best-selling North African artists of his generation. This compilation includes some of Khaled's finest work to date, with hits that include "Didi" that launched him into the international stage, followed by "Aicha" the #1 hit across Europe released in 1996, and for the first time ever on CD, two previously unreleased tracks "La Terre a Tremble" and "Mon Premier Amour". Very few Arab artists have been able to transcend their music into the international music arena and succeed - Cheb Khaled is definitely one of the few. 15 tracks. Wrasse. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This is an excellent compilation of Khaled's recent works.

You will find all the very best mix from his records.

You could also listen to he's new release "Liberté".

I liked it very much this record. Have fun.

Khaled offers a unique sound, replete with raw energy & passionate romance. It's a shame that the Islamic fundamentalists drove him from his homeland for singing popular (secular) music. While I know hardly any Arabic, I can appreciate the rhythms as well as the beat, creating a memorable musical experience. Of course, Khaled also sings in French, which I can understand. Check it out!
