Raïna Raï

Raïna Raï (Arabic: راينا راي‎) is an Algerian raï music group. The Raïna Raï group was created in December 1980 by four musicians from Sidi Bel Abbès in Algeria. Their style of music mixes raï, rock and diwane, it merges traditional rhythms and instruments with rock instruments. The group has never stopped recomposing itself since its creation, through numerous separations and reformations. Raïna Raï is today considered a pioneer of modern raï sometimes called "electric raï".
