"I bought this CD for the "alachi taadi" song from the fifth element. I was surprised to find other songs that are even better. Great Music"

"Or audio Hasheesh - take your pick.
One of the most nearly perfect albums I have heard in over four decades of eclectic listening.
I have little idea what Khaled is singing about, or what language or dialect he is singing it in - nor do I much care.
The voice is all you need. Add to that magnificent instrument
superb musicians, spot-on instrumentation, arrangements and production that fits each song like a glove and...what else is necessary to know?
Eleven splendidly varied songs that all groove, cook and flow into each other with an utterly dependable, danceable, intoxicating drive and sheer delight in being alive. It just keeps coming on. And you wish it will never stop. This is music that would make Sufis of the pathetic Taliban.
(Check out Kenza, too!)
