Aicha (6:51)

“Aïcha” is the name of a French song written by the singer songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. The word Aïcha (عائشة) (also spelled Aisha, Ayesha, Aysha, and Ayisha) is an Arabic female name. The song’s original performer is the Algerian Raï artist Khaled. The original French single was never released in an album, though Khaled’s 1996 album Sahra featured a bilingual version of the song sung in both French and Arabic. The Arabic lyrics for the bilingual version of the song are written by Khaled. Khaled’s music video was directed by Sarah Moon.
