  • STING had decided to conduct a small experiment during his unplugged unplanned appearance at the YPO EDGE in Dubai on March 11, 2016. He invited on stage his newly met fellow musicians, Kamal Musallam (Oud) and Rashmi Bhatt (Tabla) to establish a conversation around one of his acclaimed songs "Desert Rose". The purpose of this experiment was mainly to express the importance of the the most important gift any musician had ever received.....LISTENING!

    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.

    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.

      @kamalmusallam  Před rokem +2

      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!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

    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
