Listen to "Chaba" from Vol. 1
Listen to "Dalali" from Vol. 2
Get both at once here.
Contrary to how it looks, this is not a collection of Khaled's late-80s to present greatest hits. It's pure early to mid-80s Cheb Khaled, including raw versions of many songs that were re-recorded and spruced up for later albums--for instance, "Chaba," which you can listen to above. If you only know the Don Was-produced (and later) Khaled, you'll definitely want to check this out (as well as this and this.)
I'll be posting everything I have of Cheb Khaled from the 70s and 80s over the next few days, so check back tomorrow evening if you're a fan.
Gold! I'm so loving this! شكرا!!

ReplyDeleteGary's so welcoming Tim right there with the Arabic Squiglish of 'So, we are welcoming you." This is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteIn Raï-speak, Gary would be 'Ga-Raï': he's posted three, consec posts by Cheb Khaled! Un-be-leave-able! Best of Volumes One & Two, Hada Raykoum, and earlier on Yal Malblia.
Gary: you're on a Raï roll, mang!
Shukran again.
H.H.
