Remember that Rai song I posted called Aicha by Cheb Khalid? Well this one is an R&B remix of another Rai song called Abdel Kader which featured Cheb Khalid too, hence the new genre Rai&B.
Me LOVES! 
For more information on one of my favorite musical genres, read this:
Raï (Arabic: راي) is a form of folk music, originated in Oran, Algeria from Bedouin shepherds, mixed with Spanish, French, African and Arabic musical forms, which dates back to the 1930s and has been primarily evolved by women in the culture. Raï literally means opinion but is colloquially used as an interjection along the lines of “oh, yeah!”

If you like Algerian music, then you might enjoy Souad Massi. Her music is acoustic Algerian ‘rock’ and has a different energy than Rai, but is equally as goooood!!! I absolutely love her music.
Personally I can’t stop listening to her song “Ilham,” Check it out:

Hehe, I wait for someone to do to Oud what Yoshida Brothers did to the Shamisen and Apocalyptica did to the Cello
