	Biography - CHEB MAMI
		Cheb Mami ("the kid" in Oran dialect) belongs to that post-independence generation of Algerians full of faith in the construction of a free and modern society, and whose youth was sacrificed precisely because the contradictions between the countryâs archaic shackles and progressive ideals were so difficult to live.
		Mohamed Khelifati, alias Cheb Mami, was born on July 11th 1966 in a working class quarter of SaÃ¯da, a small town 200 kilometres South of Oran (the capital of raÃ¯), on the edge of the high plateaux of the Sahara.
		Cheb Mami finally got the chance to play in his homeland on 5 July '99 when he returned to Algeria to perform a special concert in Algiers at the foot of the "Sanctuaire des Martyrs" (on the Esplanade des Arts).

	Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine: Cheb Mami: the prince of North African rai - Sing Out! Spotlight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Cheb Mami's name may not be at the tip of your tongue, but odds are, his music is. Over the past decade, this Algerian native has skyrocketed to the top of the world's Arabic rai (pronounced "rye") music scene with a dynamic mix of reggae, hip hop, salsa, blues, funk, and North African rhythms.
		It was in Paris, however, where Cheb Mami found his musical launching pad, honing his sound by fusing blues, funk, salsa, reggae, hip-hop and Algerian rhythms, and integrating touches of his idols Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, and French rapper MC Solaar.
		Mami seamlessly darts between rai and French chanson on the romantic "Yahamami" and even brings in a gospel choir on "Ana Oualache." Dellali is sure to be a major hit in French and Arabic nightclubs.

		Mami is younger - in fact, he made his debut at fourteen - and came after Khaled.
		Mami's music (for he writes and arranges nearly all his songs) is equally as astounding as his voice.
		Indeed, Mami has a strong fan base of young women, partly cause of his looks, and partly because his songs' lyrics are less abrasive and more "sweet" than those of most raï; artists.

		Cheb Mami has continued to take the rai tradition to new heights.
		The new millennium was a much more pivotal time for Mami, for his collaboration with Sting on his mainstream hit, "Desert Rose," marked the first duet with a Western singer and an Eastern artist.
		Mami's rai background was full-fledged at last, allowing him to release Dellali (2001) without much music-industry political restraint.

	Cheb Mami Biography
		It is therefore quite intentional on the part of Cheb Mami to have chosen this word for the title of his album - it is his way of illustrating, yet again, his attachment to his native land and his strong connections with Oran, the nerve center of Rao music.
		Although the dominant musical influence is Rao - stemming from Mamis early childhood - the album is literally vibrating with rhythms and melodies from the New World (Europe and the United States) and other parts of the world (Maghreb, the East and India).
		Cheb Mami was the first to integrate hip hop (duets with Californian artist BabyGirl, and the Franco-Algerian K-Mel), raggamuffin' (Tonton David) and reggae (with Aswad), into his songs.

		The many "Chebs" (cheb roughly means "the young") played a raw music, usually stripped down to voices; cheesy, cheap synthesizers; and drum machines, heavy on the bass and full of bad attitude.
		Cheb Mami was there at the beginning and has followed this growth pattern.
		From traditional-sounding drum beats on the original "Parisien", through to the funky beats propelling "H'Rabti" and the "Parisien" remix, it is clear that Cheb Mami is in touch both with the roots of his musical tradition and with its future.

		"Desert Rose" itself represents a mix of cultures: In pursuit of an authentic Arabic theme, Sting asked French-Algerian vocalist Cheb Mami if he would join the former Police frontman in a duet, composing a counter-melody and Arabic lyrics to Sting's half of the song.
		Sting, on the other hand, says he didn't tell Mami what the song was about as he shared the melody with him, waiting to see what would come from the collaboration.

	RollingStone.com: Dellali : Cheb Mami : Review
		A recognizable commodity in America since Sting's "Desert Rose" (which featured the singer as second vocalist), Algerian-bred Cheb Mami -- the most prominent Rai singer in the world -- is perched on the precipice of domestic stardom.
		In an apparent effort to make the final leap, this disc has been buffed, polished and practically removed from the World Music realm.
		Unlike his prior efforts, which were somewhat rhythm machine laden themselves, Dellali finds Mami's instrument of choice --the accordion -- mixed beneath the stylings of American session legends like the late Chet Atkins and Nile Rodgers.

		The global hit single "Desert Rose" marked the first duet between a Western pop star and a Raï singer, and the combination of Sting and Cheb Mami was the coming together of two major talents.
		By then Mami was already an international star, staking his claim with 1991's Prince of Raï, then cementing his position with several other records, including Meli Meli, whose single, "Parisien Du Nord" made him a star in his adopted homeland of France.
		On 2001's Dellali he continued his trademark mixing of roots raï with funk, flamenco, reggae, and rock, expanding the music's lexicon in breathtaking fashion.
