Customer Reviews Khaled's music is fulfilling 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. I am partial to "fusion" music; music that incorporates influences from more than one culture, and Khaled is a genius in picking collaborators. This is music at once dancable and spiritual, it will uplift your spirit and get you up and dancing all at once. The king of arabic music NOW... and Finally enjoy the Cd. This Cd contains a collection of songs made by an extraordinary singer, the song ya rayi makes you dance, then turning to Love to the people with the famous electric guitar of santana, what i want to say is that in every song you can live a totally different mode, and experience a various emotions and feelings, no repetitive melodies, rhythems or vocals such as i see most of cds now especially in arabic songs where i can feel all the same !!! another point makes this album special is the lyrics where i saw for the first time in Rai, this kind of lyrics where there is a subject to sing, not just shouting some words between the music . Khaled is my favorite artist OF ALL TIME i have the original import version of this cd and can't wait to get my hands on this remix. it may sound crazy to name anyone your favorite artist of all time but Khaled is mine. 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!. . You can see a complete list of all Khaled discography, or go back to the Khaled tabs
