Khaled, Didi, North African Hit, 1992
The performance sounds like jazz, but it's actually rai, an Algerian music genre that emerged in the 1920s from the folk traditions of Oran. The genre’s name comes from the Algerian Arabic word "rai" meaning "opinion" or "advice”. The style is inscribed in 2022 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
