Cheb I Sabbah "La Ghriba: La Kahena remixed" (2006)

DJ Cheb I Sabbah makes world-wide music. He's one of the artists that doesn't have boundaries. That is something I value and in my opinion, DJ Cheb I Sabbah is an extraordinary musician whose album "La Ghriba: La Kahena remixed" I'm going to give an overview.

The first track called Toura Toura is remixed by DJ Sandeep Kumar. Unfortunately the first track is not one of my favourites. Maybe the beat is not calling me for a dance or it's the vocals that do not blend with the other instruments. In my opinion the remix by The Chakadoons is better.
Second track Sadats which consists of a nice rap rhythms and original Sadats track. Interesting composing, not bad at all. New and refreshing! This is the kind of fusion I have not heard before.

Third track called Alkher Illa Doffor is one deep sh*t. This is true hardcore remix with techno beats and great Indian rhythms! This is the track to play at the party or in a car with a very good sound system. Deep, deep remix! One of my firm favourites from this album!

There are many reasons why I like this remix cd. One of them is the track called Esh 'Dani, Alash Mshit. This is the thing to listen! One of the best club fusion I've heard! I really like this simple trance base and this interesting vocal. Together they make extremely good track, awfully compelling track. I guess this is the most listened track from the albums of Cheb I Sabbah. I suggest you to listen to it!

The other strong part of this album is the beats. You can find so many different beats that are really interesting. Just as the other interpretation of Sadats (The Sufi Sonic remix). The beats is the best part of this track.

The last track Im Ninalou is like a pearl on the album. Instead of heavy beats, I found a woman singing in a very tender way and trip-hop sounds that always make my head spin around. Combined with an orchestra with stringed instruments it's altogether a very, very nice track! I guess when Gaurav Raina from Midival Punditz is remixing it, the reslut cannot be bad!

Overall, Cheb I Sabbah has got a lot to offer and this album is one of the party albums that I'm happy to own. Maybe not the most beautiful cover, but at least it's not thoroughly made of plastic.

Lola,
thank you for mentioning it. It is a good example that whatever you do, do it properly and with a fresh head.

I appreciate it!

About the music. I think its a matter of taste. I've found out that there's a lot in this music scene that I find great music to listen, but there are some tracks that just don't fit into my taste borders that well.

Thanks once more!
