Cheb Khaled's Best

Cheb Khaled is the master of the music style called Rai, which combines traditional Algerian (Arabic) music with modern western sounds. This style is appealing to everyone, whether you can understand the lyrics or not. This CD is a collection of all of his finest songs live in concert. The fact that this CD is a concert recording makes it even better than you would hear it normally. My personal favorite songs on this album are Chebba and Aiysha. Although Aiysha is a lot more famous, Chebba has to be the best. This CD is a wonderful, exotic addition to anyone's CD library.

Excellent collection of Khaled's most famous songs

This is a good compilation of Khaled's work. I've been a fan of his since listening to "Didi" about 4 years ago and have listened to all his music since (in spite of not knowing either Arabic or French!) If you are familiar with his music it's nice to listen to the songs in the live version. I actually thought that "Aicha" sounded better live than the studio version. However, some of the other numbers sounded a bit flat. Still, it's good listening overall.
