Rai music

NumberNineDream · 08-17-2009, 11:27 PM

in the arabic songs we talked about rai but it got nothing to do with it [they usually use 3 languages in the same song] ... so i thought of specializing a thread for it.

some of my favorite rai artists:
Cheb mami
cheb Khaled
Sawt el Atlas
Faudel
and especially Rachid Taha

Here's some of my favorite songs:

Abdel Kader by 1 2 3 soleil [group composed by cheb Khaled - Rachid Taha - Faudel]

YouTube - Abdel Kader Arab Song (english and arab lyrics)

Ya Rayeh by Rachid Taha

YouTube - Rachid Taha - Ya Rayah...

^you have to hear the mandolin in that one !

the original Aicha by cheb Khaled [that was then covered by some R&B group that slaughtered the song]

YouTube - aicha cheb khaled

and a more popular one
Desert Rose by Sting feat. cheb Mami

YouTube - Desert Rose - Sting ft. Cheb Mami (LIVE)

I've a special feeling for Rachid Taha and especially his Rock the casba cover. His huge addiction for alcohol and drugs probably have ruined a more bright career.
