Raï. The best of the original North African grooves

This is an introduction to the bottest musical movement on the planet that suggest just how rich and varied rai and its roots are. From Cheikha Remitti 's wild desert blues to contemporary Arab-Andaluce masters, through the likes of chart tearaways ChebKhaled and Fadela to fusions with reggae and techno, this collection proves raï in one of the planet's most hybrid and constantly re-energising forms.
