Cheb Mami - Enregistré En Amerique

Review by Patrick Steinke

Enregistré En Amerique is a stunning album by the legendary Algerian rai singer, Cheb Mami. This album is a perfect blend of traditional Algerian music, modern pop, and North American jazz. The tracks are beautifully crafted, with a rich and vibrant sound that transports the listener to the bustling streets of Algiers.

The album features collaborations with some of the most talented musicians in North America, including jazz pianist Randy Weston, saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, and guitarist Bill Frisell. These collaborations add a unique flavor to the album, elevating it to a whole new level.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Viens Habibi," a beautiful ballad that showcases Cheb Mami's incredible vocal range and his ability to convey deep emotion through his music. The track "Parisien Du Nord" is another highlight, with its infectious beat and catchy melody.

Summary by Patrick Steinke

Enregistré En Amerique is a must-have for fans of Cheb Mami and anyone who appreciates great music. The album is a testament to the enduring power of rai music and the talent of one of its greatest ambassadors.
