Khaled.htm Recommended

Recently a customer requested information on a singer called Khaleds an Algerian. searching the net I found this site . They have a very good collection of Khaleds CDs , and many other Arabic dance collections.
We don't need an introduction for Khaled Hadg Brahim or better known to the music industry as Algerian Rai star Khaled. And who has forgotten his famous song DIDI (1992), the first international hit from Khaled. Rai music is the hip shaking new form of urban music in Middle Eastern countries , started as a hip hop music in Algeria and then became very popular in France and the rest of the world. You can buy some earlier collections of Khaled CDs here. Free downloading , If you use windows Media Player you can hear some samples of Khaled's music before you buy.
Recommended CD - Hafla live by Khaled

Plenty of Arabic music to buy both contemporary and modern . Some are very interesting , like children songs - Arabic Nursery , The online shopping process is quite easy, (They accept Paypal payments ) , Prices usually under $ 20 US Dollars each CD.
Recommended CD - Cheb Khaled and Cheb Mami 100% Arabica
ILHAM AL-MADFAI:KHUTTAR
ELISSA:AAYSHALAK

http://www.amazon.com Highly Recommended

No need for an introduction about Amazon.com , one of the largest online auction stores on the net , not quite E-bay . You can expect to buy new products or used from their hundreds of listings. Search Arabic music, You will find some very interesting and unique CDs and books about Arabic music. To hear a song sample click on the listen by the title of the song.
Recommended CD - The best of Arabian Belly dance

This site offers online shopping as well as free downloading of authentic Afro-Arabic music. I have great difficulties with their online purchasing, not sure how it works. Would be nice to hear from anybody who bought CDs from them. They have some great music and its free to download them to your computer.

Informative sites about Arabic -Indian classical music and musicians. They don't directly sell the music but link through other sites.
