Sarit Hadad - Life As A Race/Slipcase

Rochdi Ayad, whose stage name is "Cheb Rochdi", is the undisputed star of STAÏ RAÏ. He is the precursor of this new musical style, a blend of Raï music and Chaoui rhythms, which is becoming increasingly popular, first in eastern Algeria, then rapidly throughout Algeria, and is now particularly popular in France.
