Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled primarily for the international market, this release showcases the revolutionary modern Ra茂 sound developed by Fadela and her husband, producer Cheb Sahraoui. The title track, a translation of their massive hit 'N'sel Fik', revolutionized Algerian pop music by introducing synthesizers and drum machines into traditional Arabic rhythms. It played a crucial role in bringing North African dance music to European and American audiences.
