Rai music is a popular genre of world music
from the Northern African country of Algeria.

everyday life.

as either cheb if they are young and playing
more modern styles of Rai, and

more traditional styles.
These titles are cultural definitions, and they
have both positive and negative relations
within the Algerian Islamic culture as a
whole.
