Zabana – Metropole orkest conducted by Jules Buckley (20120
Soloists: Cheb Khaled-voc, Herman van Haaren-vi, Mustapha Kada-kb
I was honored to write four arrangements for this concert at Concertgebouw , Amsterdam for Khaled Hadj Ibrahim (b. 1960), better known by his mononym Khaled. He is an Algerian musician, singer and songwriter born in Oran, Algeria. He began recording in his early teens under the name Cheb Khaled. He was crowned “King of Raï” in the first Raï festival in Oran and has since become the world’s best-known Arab singer ever.
