Excellent cd 31 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Cheb Mami is probably the best rai singer and this cd proves it. All songs are excellent and his voice is pure magic. A must for anyone who likes middle east music.

I DIDN'T KNOW AN ALBUM COULD BE SO GOOD! 28 April 2001
By Emmeline - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
In case you have already read my review of Cheb Mami's later album "Meli, Meli", you would know that I was completely impressed with the music on that CD. However, his cd "Saida" is even better! For anyone new to the musical genre of Rai, either one of these albums makes a wonderful introduction, but the beauty of the melodies on "Saida" is priceless. Cheb Mami's musical range, both vocally and in his diverse styles, is amazing to observe and he deserves to be better recognized in the musical world. I believe that we will eventually see/hear more from him.

I recommend this album with the highest praise. For years I have been a hardcore fan of Spanish, Greek and Turkish music, so adding a new style to my collection was a treat. Cheb Mami is a musical wonder to my ears.

Cry of the Desert 14 July 2008
By Amaranth - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Cheb Mami's "Desert Rose" brought the Algerian superstar to worldwide fame. On his own, Cheb Mami is an electrifying singer. "Saida",from 1995, shows him in fine form. "Saida" shows Mami's range of emotions--from the passionate opening "H'babi" to his lament "Trab."

"Saida" is the cry of the desert. Cheb Mami's fluid,powerful voice reflects the merciless desert sun shining upon the endlessly shifting dunes. "H'babi" is an amazing cry of unrequited love. The follow-up,"Ma ma" is a less successful rap. Mami's singing is wonderful,but his duet partner does a lame rap in English. "Hay wadi hay galbi" shows off Mami's vocal skills. His voice leaps,ululates,as athletic as a gymnast. "Baida" sounds like it is from the Renaissance,another lovelorn song. A simple lute accompanies Mami. "Ghi N'ti" has a synthesized '80s sound. The closing song,"Trab",is a powerful,earthy lament.

"Saida" shows Mami at the beginning of his career,beginning to blossom. It's a desert rose.
