No es un dueto Sting y Cheb Mami ...hay veces que no coinciden pero se le debe de dar el crédito.

I've been a massive fan of Sting for many years, but this is a typical representation of Yin & Yang. Good can't live without evil, and Sting can't sing this song without Cheb; Mami and nether Cheb Mami can sing this song without Sting. It's just a paradox of impossibility. Still, it also represents a symbol that two people from two different backgrounds and cultures can eventually create magic if they wish to collaborate.

i agree, englishman in Dubai can't sing rai
صوت الشاب مامي خارق للعادة ولا يمكن تقليده
No matter what & how long, Sting will never lose his lively high-spirited vibrant & his boyish looks
As well as obviously being an incredible musician, Sting is so good at holding the audience's attention with his intelligence. And his musical guests were no slouches either.
Excellent duo, Sting et Mami incarnent la diversité, l'humanisme et le respect
in this song there's a missing rose wich is cheb mami voice.i can't imagine this song without mami.
*Nothing without cheb MAMI🤔*
Amazing! Though Sting was trying sooo hard to speed the song up until that instrumental part where he exploded. His phrasing and body language where screaming for it :) What a performer!

Good observation! ;-)
Mis à part l'immense talent de Sting, incontestablement il manque l'une des plus belles voix au monde, celle du prince du Raï en la personne de Cheb Mami. Vive le Raï, vive l'Algérie ! Un algérien de France.
Good Artists, like Sting, unite the world! I love him but I also admire him very much for being a good human being, open minded.
Listening is fundamental, Sting says! Everything depends on that actually.Sting is smart, and I love him for that as well!
Chef Mami’s voice is the essential beauty of this song, however Sting singing in some Arabic was a nice attempt. The Oud and Tabla were so lovely 💖

Each note brings vibration. In composition or alone. No exception for this performance. Not comparing is a good start. Just enjoy it - as it is. It is flawless. ❤
this is so amazing. The song will forever be a classic tune
فن الراي الجزائري هو أصل الموسيقة 🇩🇿❤️❤️
I loved his effort singing cheb part ♥️
After listening to Cheb Mami version exclusively and extensively over the last 6 years, this version is . . . and then I understood.
As a vocalist myself, I love Stings muscular working of this tune. Something raw and naked about it.
He didn't back down from playing or promoting the song even after 9/11 and that's saying something. Most people were slandering Muslims and the Arab people and he was uniting with them thru music long before "woke" was a thing. I feel he was a very respectful guest in their culture, as he seems beloved in that part of the world. Long live Sting. Would have loved if Chebi Mami could have been there.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I have been reading all the comments from hundreds of people about the lack of Cheb Mami here and that he is missing in this version of song! Well, I agree he is truly missed, as he is a unique talent with and irreplaceable voice. No body can sing what he sings the way he does it, not even Sting for sure! So people have to understand that this was just a very quick improvised performance by 3 people who just met for the first time ever, just hours before the show, and tried their best to give the song just justice with some new colors. 'Desert Rose' has never been performed with oud or Indian tabla accompanying Sting's voice. This was a real challenge! so Viva la musica and the courage of such a big star to have accepted to go for it!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Music has no boundaries 💓 South Africa
Sting I love you ❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹😍😍😍😍😍
With this fusion what Sting has shown to the world is "Music has no boundaries, they are like Water which find their own destiny come what may"... Salute to you Sting 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
No matter how many times I listen to this great performance it still amazes me. Congratulations to a great singer Sting and two great musicians !

I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of fire Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire And in the flames Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire This desert rose Each of her veils, a secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this And as she turns This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams This fire burns I realise that nothing's as it seems I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of her love I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand Sweet desert rose Each of her veils, a secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this Sweet desert rose This memory of Eden haunts us all This desert flower, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

Awesome Sir Sting. And guests !!!
It's wonderful how Sting always gently pushes time forward while singing, but still retaining the correct tempo with his other instrument, or vice-versa. He knows how to keep the listener always on the edge.

To even attempt this is bit outrageous… it’s like breaking something beautiful.. and then see if either fail or come close to it - and then come back as something completely new and very nice. At times it bordered on cacophony tbh.. but hats off to all 3 for trying

Omg how beautiful
I loved this song when it came out like 20 years ago. Since I am going to attend Sting's concert next month, I looked for his songs on youtube and came across this version of the song. I must say that sting hasn't lost his touch. His 2 new companions are doing a great job too.
Uma das melhores vozes masculinas e grande musico e contador de histórias
يلاااااااااااااا الاغنيه عايشه معانا وليها ذكريات جميلة

Amazing. Sting is truly genius.
The oud player and the tabla player is amazing and rather patient performing this song with a not-so-in-form Mr Sting
Amo a diversidade musical. Infelizmente , guase no escuto esse som oriental ... poucos artistas o fazem tão ímpar. Fantástic!👏👏👏👏👳♂️
This is awe-inspiring.
Cool to hear Sting singed Algerian!
Sting did a great job as always. I like this version a lot

The bloke behind the audio mixer could have lowered the volume on the vocals a bit. It's a shame that I can't hear any nuances in the instrumental part.

I think the sound guy was asleep at the wheel. Oud player started playing without sound, and then suddenly it came in, and then the tabla player tried to use his little plugged in rain stick and the sound was off on that too, volume not coming up until he started to play tabla. Embarrassing!
