RaiRai music is a popular genre of world music
from the Northern African country of Algeria.
Rai is pronounced "rye" or "rah-AY" and translates as "opinion".
Rai sounds like pop music, sung in Arabic with a clear Worldbeat influence.
Rai lyrics are blunt, describing pain and joy of everyday life.
RaiRai musicians generally refer to
themselves as either cheb if they are young and playing more modern styles of Rai, and shikh/cheikh if they are older and playing more traditional styles.
These titles are cultural definitions, and they have both positive and negative relations within the Algerian Islamic culture as a whole.
