CD Reviews

Khaled is my favorite artist OF ALL TIME
Garam Masala | 06/29/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"it may sound crazy to name anyone your favorite artist of all time but Khaled is mine. i have the original import version of this cd and can't wait to get my hands on this remix. the songs on Ya-Rayi are a beautiful blend of contemporary and classic style. Khaled always puts such true emotion into every note he sings. That reason alone is enough for anyone to buy the cd. When I heard that Carlos Santana AND Khaled were collaborating for this cd, it was a dream come true. I love world music most of all because it combines many different instruments and has more feeling and depth than most other music. Khaled is the King of all music, not just Rai. I would buy a cd of him without hearing one note of it. His name on the cover is enough for me to buy it. In addition to Ya-Rayi, I also recommend "Sahra" and especially "Kenza." If you want music that makes you FEEL every note and disappear into the music, buy Ya-Rayi NOW and every other Khaled cd too!!!!! (You might also check out Rachid Taha. He rocks out!) Don't miss one more minute of complete listener enjoyment. Enchant yourself with Khaled NOW!"
Khaled's music is fulfilling

"I am partial to "fusion" music; music that incorporates influences from more than one culture, and Khaled is a genius in picking collaborators. His voice is transporting, and could easily stand on its own, but I have been a big fan since his amazing self-titled recording "Khaled" when he first worked with Don Was and included Western influences as well. This is music at once dancable and spiritual, it will uplift your spirit and get you up and dancing all at once."
