Could listen all day

Great

I was initially interested in this artist because he is featured on the Sting track "Desert Rose". I bought the latest Sting album just because I wanted this particular track then decided to give Cheb on his own a go. I purchased Cheb's album expecting not to think much of it but I was wrong! I have absolutely no idea what he is singing about but that make no difference. In fact, it helps you appreciate the music more because you are not focusing on the lyrics, just the sound. There are a couple of tracks that I skip, other than that, I find it very easy to listen to and they are actually quite catchy! It is so good I would now consider buying previous albums of his. It makes a change to listen to music that is completely different to the everyday stuff you hear on the radio - I find it a refreshing change.

If you want a different sound with passion look no further than Cheb Mami. Mixture of traditional type Raj and his on take - you will play again and again and again.............

I got to buy this because I liked the backing singing on the Sting album. It took a bit of listening to but I can fully recommend it. His voice is unusual to me and the background music is haunting. However the last 3 tracks sound the same to me, they have different titles but the same tune. The rest of the album is great, can't stop listening.

cheb mami feat Sting Desert Rose Roxanne Super Bowl 2001 auf yutube kann man ihn hören, sehr gut. Arabische Musik von Cheb Mami auch für westliche Ohren sehr schön anzuhören.

Cheb Mamis Stimme ist einfach schön. Wollte eigentlich ein paar alte Lieder von ihm, aber auch diese CD ist sehr gut.
