Laila Orient by Saatchi (2004)

«The concept lying behind this album is the same one that brought the “Buddha Bar” CD into existence - an album that was recorded by the musicians performing at the Parisian Buddha Bar. Owners of the popular Laila bar in Istanbul decided to do the same with live music their bar featured.

Laila Orient is thus a collection of songs, mostly recorded only for this particular album. Among others, the album features the French version of Mirkelam’s song “Unutulmaz” (“Inoubliable”). Mirkelam's very popular song has been recorded in French version for this album only.
Another popular song is “Husan” recorded by “Bhangra Knights vs. Husan.” Husan has been a big hit and has been played over and over in a number of clubs in Istanbul during this summer.
The album also features Elissa’s catchy song Baada from his album “Avshalak”. Elissa is a rising star in the Arabic music world. Musa Göçmen’s two songs are also in this album: “Sufi” and “The End.”

Laila Orient has sold 100,000 worldwide, a figure considered very high in its category.» (From the Net)
