If you want to know North Africa and do not have money to go there ... Sting and Cheb Mami are conveyed to us the most beautiful part of African culture in a modern way. A great song...
@Cianer1988 Actually this was done the day of the attack. Sting wanted to put together a concert at his home. They were going to cancel but everyone involved wanted to move forward with it. He said the tone of that evening was quite different from how it was originally intended. In the CD booklet, on the first page he writes:
"This album was recorded on September 11, 2001, and is respectfully dedicated to all those who lost their lives on that day." It's a brilliant piece of music.
What I love about it is that it was done 1 DAY before 9/11.
:)
Now a concert like this will be looked down upon, this kind of coalition is unheard of these days. It really saddens me to think about the hatred after that one day, ya know
@Fedesha forced his wife to have an abortion? i would XD if i knew my career was at its high then my bitch of a wife was ohh im pregnant lets have a baby id be like fuck off im touring and enjoy the world ho :)
Thank you - two days ago your video inspired my prayer - I have been seeking like a sufi! "Abba - in my seeking I look to the rock from which I was cut & the quarry from which I was hewn. Father You make my joy complete. Your justice is my mercy. Holy Spirit You fill me with light,laughter and love causing me to bloom with the fragrance of a rose in the desert. Yeshua you are my salvation through generations"
@gitarisuto05 isn't that what I said? You said that he is not "Arab", he is an "Algerian". You sounded like that think Arab is a country. It's like saying, Ntini is not "black", he is "South African" :S
@whatontheearth but is he Arab? Is someone of Mexican heritage living in Canada considered Mexican or Canadian? It's about personal identity, I'm sure a lot of Japanese-Americans during WWII considered themselves American, but were seen as Japanese. I don't know who or what Mami identifies with more, I do know he's from Algeria, that's what I was saying. I hate stereotypical beliefs too, but sometimes people these days take it way too far and seek out connections where none exist.
@gitarisuto05 I am not trying to argue here. I am trying to get something straight. Look, a white man (of ethnicity==> white) is born in England. He is still white. If he moves to United States for a long time and gets the citizenship. He is American alright but is he black now? NO! He is still white. "White" is what describes his ethnicity. "American" is something that describes his "nationality". Do you see the difference now? And yes, he is an Algerian Arabic.
Sound sgood, but I wish they didn't rush the groove and let the song breathe naturally. Also, I wish Omar Hakim's drums came into the groove sooner and controlled the groove better.
Cheb Mami is currently imprisoned in France, where he was recently found guilty of drugging and forcing a former partner to undergo a failed abortion. A court in Paris found him guilty at trial and sentenced him to five years in prison.[1]
quand le magreb prend la peine de jouer avec la musique du monde, c'est tout simplement génial !!!! pardon le magreb a souvent multiplié sa musique !!!
