*Hotels*		Raï is a musical movement which goes up at the beginning of the century in an area that one calls the west and not yet Oran. Raï is a little bit like a tree, it has roots which come from the four corners of the Algerian west. In particular of Mascara which is one of the places at the origin of the emergence of large the chioukhs, the large Masters of the beginning of the century who used the flute and the tambourine. At the beginning, we do not call this movement Raï, it is right a musical movement which was born in the back country from Oranie, in the grounds and which is carried by large Masters resulting from poetry Bedouin who take again texts of quality, ancestral poetries.

*Media*		Already in these poetic texts, there was an awakening from what occurred in the country, it was a little the transistor and the television of the time. Then, there are people as Sheik Hamada who will be the bond with this Oranian reality at the beginning of the century, they will be the precursors of the bringing together between the countryside and the city. And as from this moment, the movement is moving. It is the meeting of the music judéo-Arabic, of the Jews which are installed in Oran. It is that before the Crémieux decree, the Jews lived with the Arabs in perfect harmony.

		It is felt that there is division and exchange and Sheik Hamada will be really the founder of this musical movement in Oranie. This Mister will give texts to great names of the Algerian music, in particular in Algiers. There is thus at that time a true play of footbridge and meeting through all the country. The women should not be forgotten because they will be determining. And it is Cheikha Remitti which will carry best of the universe of Raï through the century. The key element of this musical alchemy will be Blaoui Houari, because it was in contact with the arabo-Andalusians and of the music judéo-Arabic. It is a musician of quality which plays as well of the piano, of the guitar, to become leader thereafter. It will be the precursor of this musical movement which one will call later Raï in his modern form, because it is him which will introduce instruments like the guitar, the accordion. Another key moment will be years 68, 69, 70. There are references in Algeria and the trumpet starts to appear. At this time, there are three important names which are Boutaïba, Bellemou and Bouteldja. These names will reveal pop Raï before the arrival of Cheba Fadila, Chebs Mami, Khaled, Hamid, Sahraoui, the group Reina Raï which leave the borders of Algeria and occur abroad. It should be waited until 1985 so that the Algerian state recognizes officially Raï at the time of the first festival of Raï with Oran. Previously this music had never had right of city to the radio or the television of state.
