Anggun Sahara

Anggun's highest selling album

The album contains 16 songs which are taken from the French version and re-recorded in English. Lyrics were translated and re-written by songwriter Nikki Matheson. Snow on the Sahara was marketed in 33 countries around the world in 1998. In Japan and Indonesia, the album was released in late 1997 under the title Anggun as a special version.

For some reason, "Memory of Your Shores" is omitted from the US version, although it has been cited as fans' favorite. Anggun also did a cover version of David Bowie's hit, "Life on Mars", which was also released as a US promotional single.

Anggun C Sasmi; Why is She famous

A musical prodigy who had a slew of hit records in her home country as a teenager, Anggun C Sasmi  has since found fame in Europe and the rest of Asia with a string of smash songs in the past five years.

Anggun C Sasmi  has a unique look that separates her from the normal crowd of female singers out there. With her sensual blend of Asian ethnicity, she is a definite honey on the rise. Her sexiness is not an overt, flaunted and obvious quality but is rather mysterious and enticing. Overall, a much better challenge than some of the transparent female singers on the scene today.

With millions of albums sold in her native country, Anggun is perhaps the most popular artist ever to emerge from the cultural melting pot known as Indonesia. A relative unknown to North American audiences, Anggun Cipta Sasmi has been a staple on the music scene for almost two decades.
