I caught Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 this morning. I am usually at work at the time it is broadcast and although it’s a British institution (broadcast since 1942), I have never taken time out to listen online. For those who are not familiar with the format, a celebrity is invited to list the 10 tracks they would want to have with them on a desert island and the reasons behind the choice. Over the hour, the listener gets a pretty good idea of the life story of the interviewee.
Maybe being stranded on this desert island off Cuba wouldn't be so bad after all....
This got me thinking about what my desert island discs would be. What would I want on my MP3 player if I was stranded, and how would those tracks reflect my travels and interactions with other cultures?

Abdel Kader (song)
1998 single by Cheb Khaled
"Abdel Kader" (Arabic: عبد القادر) is an Algerian traditional song made famous by the Algerianraï artist Khaled. It is mistakenly thought to be about the Emir`Abd al-Qādir al-Jazā'irī, a famous Algerian Muslim religious leader and freedom fighter who resisted the French conquest of Algeria, but is actually about the 12th century Sufi saint Shaikh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (1078–1166 AD), the posthumous founder of the Qadiriyya Sufi Order.[citation needed] It is featured on his 1993 studio album N'ssi N'ssi. After his 1993 original album version, Khaled released a solo live version of "Abdel Kader" in his live album Hafla in 1998.[1]
The song gained further popularity after the live performance at Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy by Khaled, Rachid Taha and Faudel. The joint trio live version was included on the 1998 live album1,2,3 Soleils.
Charts
[edit]The live version by Rachid Taha, Khaled and Faudel was released as a separate single in France reaching #6 in the SNEP, the official French Singles Chart. The song stayed in for 21 consecutive weeks in the French charts in the period November 1998 to March 1999, with 10 weeks of those in the Top 10. It stayed at #6 for the two weeks ending 5 and 1
