Khaled Hakami

Sahra is a studio album from Algerian raï artist Khaled, released in 1996. It was the artist's biggest production to date, being co-produced by Philippe Eidel, Don Was, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Clive Hunt, and including performances by many other singers from around the world. It features what is perhaps Khaled's most popular song, "Aïcha". Most tracks are sung in Arabic, with a notable dosage of French. "Ki Kounti" is partially sung in Spanish as it features Mexican Rock vocalist Saúl Hernández from the reputable band Caifanes. The title track is named after Khaled's first daughter, Sarah, to whom the album is dedicated along with her mother, Samira.

DJ Khaled is back with his latest album, God Did. The follow-up to last year’s Khaled Khaled features a stacked roster of guests, including Jay-Z and Lil Wayne (on the title track alongside Rick Ross, John Legend, and Fridayy), Drake (on opener “No Secret”), Future and SZA (on “Beautiful”), the late Juice WRLD (“Juice WRLD Did”), and more.

Henrik Schwarz’s Between Buttons label is pleased to announce its second release, Aphorisms, is a six track debut record from Syrian musicians Khaled Kurbeh & Raman Khalaf Ensemble. Raman Khalaf and Khaled Kurbeh are now based in Berlin but hail from Syria, and that shows in the music they have been making together since 2015. The years since have seen them perform at the likes of CTM, at the BBC Arabic Festival in London and Potsdamer Tanztage as well as on Piano Day at Funkhaus. Their sound mixes up Raman’s oud playing and vocals with Khaled’s piano and synthesisers, and ranges from largely acoustic, such as on this EP, to more electronic when performing live.

Since the top of the year, DJ Khaled has been raving bout his tenth album Grateful. Despite keeping the details "top secret," Khaled has flooded social media with a few major keys regarding his latest effort. Immediately after the Grammys in February, Khaled handed fans his lustrous single "Shining" featuring Jay Z and Beyonce.

«Ci chiamano mercanti della morte, immigrazione clandestina, la chiamano. Io sono la sola cosa legale di questo Paese. Prendo ciò che è mio, pago a tutti la loro parte. E anche il mare, anche il mare si tiene una parte della mia mercanzia. Mi chiamo Khaled, il mio nome significa immortale. Mi chiamo Khaled e sono un trafficante». Khaled è libico, ha poco più di trent'anni, ha partecipato alla rivoluzione per deporre Gheddafi, ma la rivoluzione lo ha tradito. Così lui, che voleva fare l'ingegnere e costruire uno Stato nuovo, è diventato invece un anello della catena che gestisce il traffico di persone. Organizza le traversate del Mediterraneo, smista donne, uomini e bambini dai confini del Sud fino ai centri di detenzione: le carceri legali e quelle illegali, in cui i trafficanti rinchiudono i migranti in attesa delle partenze, e li torturano, stuprano, ricattano le loro famiglie. Khaled assiste, a volte partecipa..
