RAI is a type of music that stirs the rhythms and the modern and western technology with one traditional style
of music magrebina.
Word "RAI" means "opinion" and comes often utilized
as it was a question, nearly to wanting to urge one answer of the public.
Music Algerian however has a past very complicated: in years ' 20/' 30
2 main currents could be recognized: before, represented from
men (Chiekh), were based on old danced poetiche Bedouins, while
the second one, of which protagonists were the women (Cheikha) were the column
sonorous of the caffe' pre-war; e' from these songs that we can
to make to go back the origin of modern RAI.
Music RAI has developed to Orano (north the west of Algeria)
and with
the time has caught up all the angles of the world. The origins
they are from searching in the most ancient religious traditions, connected to
Sufismo and to the feminine cults that turn around the templi religious.
To the days thematic ours main to which ago reference this popular music
they are the problems of the daily life.
To Orano it existed, beyond to
one extraordinary crossing of infuences Bedouins, Moroccans, Spanish,
French and North Africans, the just "atmosphere" of night-clubs that
they favored a style libertino of which then POP-RAI it was expression.
The birth of POP-RAI in fact can be made to coincide with the revolution punk in Europe
(second meta' of years ' 70). perhaps but the thematic ones were piu' near
to the outbreak of the rock' n roll in the USA of years ' 50: sex, automobiles,
drug (alcohol in the specific one); censured topics hardly are from the hierarchies
Muslims that give the socialist government.
But the decisive push came above all from the many e'migre' young people
before in the European cities: Paris, Lione, Marseilles. They in fact have been the promotori of
music RAI to outside of theirs comunity that it has then with the time has caught up Frankfurt,
Milan and even Tokyo and Rio!
