Ya-Rayi

Khaled's Ya-Rayi (يا رأيي, meaning My opinion) is his fifth studio album that was first released in Europe in August 2004 by AZ Records, a label of Universal Music France, and later licensed in UK, and then reissued in United States on June 27, 2005. The European release was dubbed a "back to the roots" album, while the United States release was dubbed a "peace through music" album.

The album includes remakes of El Hadj M'Hamed El Anka's "El-H'mam" and Rabah Driassa and Blaoui Houari's "H'mama" and features noted Algerian pianist Maurice El Mediouni on tracks "Mani Hani" and "H'mama" with Don Was producing the title track.
