RAINARAI A PIONEER GROUP FROM SIDI BEL ABBES,(ALGERIA)HAVE A SOUND BASED ESPECIALLY ON THE GUITAR OF LOTFI ATTAR. RAINA RAI WERE BROUGHT UP ON BLUES,ROCK AND REGGAE.INSPIRED BY SONGS OF THE 1930'SAND1940'S.THEY STARTED EXPERIMENTING BY SUBSTITUTING THE GASBA(REED FLUTE)WITH ELECTRIC GUITAR AND SAX ,AND THE SMALL GUELLAL WITH LARGER BOOMING TABLA DRUM KIT. RAINA RAI HAVE UP-DATED THE DUSTY MELODIES WHICH WERE WAITING TO BE RE-USED .THEIR SONGS HAVE DANCE RYTHMS AND LYRICS IN WHICH THEY SCREAM OF THEIR LIVES, ONE OF THEIR SONGS"ZINA"(PRETTY GIRL) WAS A BIG ENOUGH HIT TO WARRANT ITS USE ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF"TCHAO PANTIN"
