Snow on the Sahara

An Indonesian princess, Anggun, had a good business sense about her, it seemed -- owning and managing her own recording studio at such a young age, and taking charge of her career from the get-go. Listening to the songs in "Snow on the Sahara", one could tell that the album was very much influenced by her exotic background.

Not many pop-oriented music companies (distributors) would have taken a chance on such a unique-sounding album, unless the collection was excellent in its own right. And "Snow on the Sahara" was undoubtedly that: excellent!
