Sting Desert Rose Reaction

[@gyloir]

The other guy is Cheb Mami, he is an Algerian singer and that style that he was singing is called Raï, it's Algerian folk music. For him doing this song for Sting, Sting ended up singing on Cheb's album as well to repay him for this song.

[@SpaceCattttt]

"Repay" sounds like the wrong word. Sort of like "revenge". They were doing each other a favor, that's all.

[@brainsareus]

@@SpaceCattttt it's awkward, but this is not the persons' 1st language; so get a grip on yourself.

[@NitroCigarette]

@@SpaceCattttt ''Repay the favour'' is a very common saying of gratitude. What he said was fine.

[@ClarissaJulian]

Oh the nostalgia... one of my favorite songs from my summer in France... Cheb mami and Arabic/Algerian music was huuuge over there and Sting was one of the few popular artists to embrace it. Cheb Khaled ~ 'Aicha' is another good one.... I think I still have the CD! FYI for all you young ones reading this.... a CD is something we used to listen to music on Lol :))

[@PunishedAbdou]

@GLOBAL_GAMERS mami is from Saida actually

[@Basim_Daoud]

Carlos Santana did a duet with Khalid called Love to the People.

[@AZURE11000]

Mami is not indian or egyptian, he's an algerian singer, he sings a "Rai music"

[@2014tarek]

True...

[@mounamimi5169]

Mami is an Algerian, and he is a legend of singing. His voice is not like a voice in the world. Even musical instruments are afraid of the voice of Cheb Mami. The legend of Rai is a world singer famous in America, Europe and Africa. His voice is rare. It is a musical instrument.

[@stella81t]

Agree! The first time I heard this song only Chabi voice was there and I searched for his songs! Greetings from Serbia!

[@wahranisoldier412]

all Arab world know Cheb Mami . He is great Arab singer from Oran region

[@linzombie8455]

Oh man, I was such a sucker for Sting growing up haha I just love that man's voice and this is such a beautiful song with an awesome vibe!

[@DarianCaplinger]

Probably my favorite Sting song, and I love most of his music.

[@TheNitelite10]

I was deployed to Kosovo when this song came out and after those long hot days of being out on patrol, back at camp when the heat broke and we were winding down hanging out at some of the common areas, there was a small tent coffee shop that had speakers outside in its seating area positioned in key places by the mushroom lights, with the cool breeze starting to blow, birds taking roost in the near by trees, this song would play and a lot of people would start drifting off to this song when it came on, myself included...this is one of those few songs that go down into the subconscious.

[@cloudcampos4555]

Wow that s an incredible comment

[@patrickjane5089]

This song is stunning but even more Cheb mami's voice. WoW,that's how you feature in a song! So distinct and striking.a great song to play on a night drive,makes the night so much more mysterious and magical !

This singer is an Algerian and desert rose is a stone found in the Algerian desert

[@melissagerber7231]

Sting said that he doesn’t speak Arabic, and Cheb Mami doesn’t speak English, yet, the part he wrote expressed the yearning of love. The emotion in Sting’s song reached beyond the language barrier.

[@mhairiscott4358]

I live in Egypt, and I’m so so so happy watching you listen to something with an Arabic sound. Cheb Mami is Algerian and that’s an an form of singing. We don’t really do that here in Egypt, but we still live the sound. I’m going to have think and suggest something Arabic for you. It’s beautiful music.

This beat will always be one of the best.. Sting is just a musical genius..only certain songs transcends genre of music... This is one...but Mami makes this vocals in this song

[@sweetpepper959]

Sting’s ‘Fragile’ is such a beautiful song. I remember taking my son to an IMAX theater as a kid to see a movie about the ocean, and this song was the main theme song. He’s almost thirty now, and just recently we both said that we instantly go to that moment in time, when we hear the song. He has an impressive body of work. Trivia- Sting got his nickname, when he was younger, for constantly wearing a black and yellow sweater with horizontal stripes. 🐝

[@bouboubrown8202]

when cheb mami start singing your reaction is priceless man ....

[@Spartyfan87]

With Sting, aka Gordon Sumner, grew up in a very poor family and aspired to GET OUT. He ended up being a teacher by day and a jazz musician by night. Eventually he became a founding member of The Police, a great and seminal band in rock. His solo stuff has evolved because of his love of WORLD MUSIC, like Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and also his commitment to providing wonderful sonic representation has led to some great Blu Ray DVD's of his concerts and a Broadway show The Last Ship. Love it all!

[@carriechavanne]

I've never watched the video but fell in love with this song after watching a belly dance at a local Pagan festival dance to it. Personally the video makes little to no sense, but the song is beautiful all on it's own.

The removed the beautiful dancing girl that was in this so many years ago. She was stunning. This video brought belly dancing t o the forefront of dancing trends. The other guy wearing black is Cheb Mami,a great singer. He's singing in Arabic. He sings and speaks in Algerian Arabic and sometimes in Eastern Arabic dialects or in French.

You are absolutely correct, Cheb was singing in a typical Arabic style called Rai music. Egyptian? Not quite, but not a million miles away either. He's actually Algerian, but good attempt. Excellent job they have done of meshing the very different styles together.

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

The other guy you’re talking about is named: Chab mami.he is an Algerian ( North Africa) and there is nobody else to confirm that than me ,because I’m actually Algerian. Sting has a unique voice but chab mami’s voice is out of this world.he is known for his incredible voice capacities check it yourself

[@JohnMedved]

As said, this is a difficult first song for Sting. He was the singer/bassist for The Police. To get a better understanding I would start with "Walking on the Moon" by the Police and then maybe "Synchronicity 1&2" from their Synchronicity CD. This CD defined my high school (along with Thriller!). The Police had a very reggae vibe. I proposed to my wife to "Fragile" from Sting's solo CD Nothing Like the Sun. Any amazingly beautiful song.
