“Desert Rose” ~ https://youtu.be/C3lWwBslWqg Sting collaborated with Algerian singer-songwriter and musician Cheb Mami. Everything about this song is exotic. Particularly the vocals of Khélifati Mohamed aka Cheb Mami. #DidYouKnow that Cheb Mami introduced raï music to Western audiences at the turn of the 21st century. What is “rai music”? (I knew you would ask that. LOL.) According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, rai is “a type of progressive popular music that blends local Algerian traditions with various international popular genres, such as rock, jazz, and flamenco”. #favoritemusicvideos #music
