A friend of mine was stationed in Europe (1996) and some how he aquired Khaled's CD. At first I was a little skeptical regarding the language barrier. How could I possible enjoy Khaled's CD or Rai music if I couldn't understand the words? After listening to Khaled sing a couple of tunes, I was very impressed. Even though I didn't understand the words, (I still don't) the music has a voice of its own. I especially like the track, "Didi." Diffinitely club oriented and spirited in nature. I look forward to hearing more from Khaled. ( ^_^ )

Khaled is my favorite rai artist ever! I first discovered rai when my mom bought a CD with various rai and other north african artists, I started to LOVE algerian rai!!! Mauvauis Sang is soooooo cool.

everything this guy does is great. not many americans know about rai music, but i can't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy it. didi is the most danceable song i've ever heard. all his songs have more than enough beat to make you want to dance the night away, but the arab rythyms and singing are also pleasing enough just to listen to. great stuff.

Although this album was released some years ago, I don't think anyone has come close to making such a popular Rai album as this one. The combination of French and Algerian music and lyrics still sounds fresh and is nice to dance to. If you like this you should try Rachid Taha (although I don't think his voice is as good) and Natacha Atlas, who also mix Arabic sounds with western (dance) music.

although i bought this cd long time ago, i still feel it's just new every time i listen to it, there is DiDi needs no introduction, and all the other songs i feel that they are like masterpieces...........

I've been listening to Khaled since his "Cheb" days. While I'm kinda partial to his early stuff, I really like this CD. "Mauvais Sang" and "El Arbi" are just two of its gems. The whole CD is exotic - with western touches and lots of electricity! What a jolt! And Khaled's voice is so soulful and passionate - like no other in rai music. I listen to this CD while I exercise. It makes for an enjoyable workout that goes by quickly! Get this CD while you can!:)

This singer is really great, I never listen before singing like this, all songs are great, you will listen a modern north african music, Rai, pop-rock,spanish-rumba, all together with the incredible voice of Khaled.

I was introduced to Khaled during my trip to India in 1992. This is one of the best albums I have listened to. Track 2 is very addictive as well as the album.

Khaled's music is very uplifting, never fails to put me in a good mood. He has a great voice and his songs make you want to tap your feet.
