Most guppies know Khaled only because of his two songs “Didi” and “Abdel Kader”. He is known as King Of Rai. (Cheb Mami is known as Prince of Rai). Here is a short biography of Khaled:
Born in Algeria but now based in France, Khaled is known as the king of rai. He was born Khaled Hadj Brahim in 1960 in Sidi-El-Houri. Along with Egyptian, Spanish and French music influences, Khaled also listened to the Beatles and James Brown as a child. After learning to sing and play accordion, he left school at age 16 to record his first single. With a blend of funk, reggae and Arabic music, Khaled soon pioneered the transformation of rai from a local style to worldwide popularity by adding a synthesizer and drum machine. He moved to France in 1986 and released Kutche, his debut album. His first domestic work was a 1993 self-titled album. N’ssi N’ssi appeared the following year. 1996 saw the release of Sahra, and three years later King of Rai appeared. In mid-2000. 1,2,3 Soleils was released. Elle Ne Peut Pas Vivre Sans Lui was issued later that fall with El Lil Ou Nour appearing in early 2001. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

anyone heard of this arabic singer Abida Al Ayoubi!?
ive been looking for a song by her which was titled 'habibie....' something, i dont remember the whole title. the song is a few yrs old atleast and is a great arabic ballad. anyone any clue?
thanks
Haris: I have never heard of Abida Al Ayoubi. I even searched on google etc. No such singer. A lot of songs by these arabic artists have "habibi" as one of the words. So that wasnt any help either. I would say that one of the most famous one as by Amr Diab "Habibi Ya Nur Al Ain". Ill try to post that one.
wiseboy: here is one song by the lebanese Nawal al Zoghby. Will post more later.
** Toul 3omri - Nawal al Zoghbi**

thanks for the effort :)
even ive tried looking everywhere i could but to no success. maybe she was a one song success or something or perhaps quite old...?
Haris: This is a shot in the dark. Maybe this is that "habibi" song and that singer Abida Al Ayoubi that you are looking for. I dunno who the is female vocalist is in this song. Its from an album titled The Casbah. Check it out and lemme know.
irem: You should call up 3arabeeya and have her come over and start posting some of her tunes here in this thread? Cool idea :D?
