Gasba Flutes from Northeast Algeria
Various Artists (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe The gasba reed flute is one of
the most emblematic instruments of traditional Algerian music. The flutes,

N'Ssi
N'Ssi by Khaled (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe (Audio CD) Cheb (young)
Khaled was a rebel in his day, an Algerian punk whose music blended racy lyrics
with cheesy synths and drum machines in a sort of North African '80s techno. By
the time he recorded this CD, he had dropped the Cheb and found that there was
a whole world of sounds to choose from.
Sahra by
Cheb Khaled (amazon.com) - USA - Audio CD The often superficial
relationship between Algeria's rai music and Jamaica's reggae is fleshed out by
Khaled on Sahra, a CD named after his daughter. On 3 of the 12 tracks, he
utilizes the cream of Jamaican studios and performers.
