"Ya Rayah" (Arabic: يا الرايح Yâ ar-râyiḥ) is an Algerian "chaabi" song composed and performed in the 1970s by Dahmane El Harrachi (Amrani Abderrahmane). Up until the past 15 years this song was known to be Dahman El Harrachi's original song and in the Chaabi/Andalous tradition of Algiers. This song is a ballad of the traveler, the exiled, the longing to come back, the immigrant, the "wanderin' star", etc. hence it's universal appeal.
i think they wrote Oriental because they must be from the New continent.... anything from the East can be considerate Oriental, besides the deeper roots of the music are believed to be from the oriental side of the Mediterranean.
Wonderful Algerian Shaabi song composed by Dahman El Haracchi! Rachid Taha's version of this song, produced by Steve Hillage, is the most perfect one to date!
well.. from what little i know, the word 'orient' was used in classical times to signify the middle east, not sure about north africa - the word 'orient' now has come to mean asia - but i believe middle eastern music is still referred to as 'oriental music' but many scholars... just not by the populus???
Esta cultura y su musica ha tenido una influencia particular en mi, me transporta me tranquiliza, me hace ver las todas y la vida desde otra perspectivaM es preciosa y me encanta
@RanaLabass go get loss u stupid morrocan or whoever u are rai was invented in algeria also cha3bi music. we history more than u people are. any way we are not famous because we dont kiss westerners asses like u people do
@doubby31 I am Algerian... I don't hate you brother...all I am saying is be proud of what you are or who you are as an Algerian. But not everybody wants to be an Algerian. Just respect other nations and cultures. And don't tell them how great you are....let them tell you how good you are.... no malice intended....good luck.
@michaelerni best wishes Michael, music is a international language no matter where does it come from as long as its beautiful, elegant and respect the high artistic taste of the humans such as Arab music, viva Switzerland viva algeria viva Libya.
I love this song and I really appreciate how natural the dancer is in this video; I'm a women but she just looks so beautiful and elegant - Where is she from?
More michael ! amazing show.. thank you guys for introducing Algerian culture. :-)

If you are going post this video, be at least honest about the origine of the song which is a Million /100 Algerian. Drole de gens.
