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.

Page 7: African Music & Australian Music

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.

Kenyan Music• The music of Kenya is both diverse and inclusive. People of the Kikuyu, Luhya, Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii, Meru, Swahili, and

Maasai cultures, as well as hundreds of smaller tribes, make up the local population.

• There's also a large international population, who have migrated to Kenya over hundreds of years to work in Nairobi, on coastal ports, or in

mines.
