This album was released in 1989 by Cheb Mami, one of the representative singers of the urban folk music "Rai" that flourished by Algerian-Arab musicians living in France. The album is an exotic and danceable sound, with a new interpretation of his roots in Arab music, with a large use of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. The songs are quite dense, but also have a deep element of spirituality.
