Don Was
Khaled signed with French record label Barclay Records, then brought in American record producer Don Was to "incorporate American R&amp;B—to Americanize the music", which Don Was achieved by combining Khaled's live musicians with loops and beats from his Macintosh computer and a keyboard. The result of these sessions in the studio that combined Khaled's rai with Was' R&amp;B, was, according to Was, "pretty wild music."
