Roots Of Raï
Once upon a time in Algeria....... Maurice El Medioni reveals the past colonial splendour of Oran - the Algerian coastal city, birthplace of rai music. The Jewish pianist, one of the foremost pioneers in Algerian pop music, has mixed a nostalgic cocktail with Cuban rhythms, French cabaret chic and Arabic mellowness. The swinging melodies rekindle the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the Oran of the past when it was the melting pot for all religions and cultures. Play it again, Maurice!
Including the supprt of famous musicians as David Krakauer, Frank London and Mahmoud Fadl.
