Much luck and fun in your investigation of Algerian music--as you,hopefully, keep in mind that there has never been a Jewish/Muslim Chaabi, Hawzi or Rai. There is just Chaabi, hawzi and rai.
Lili Boniche est un algerien sephardi juif et pas arab.
Arretez vos mensonges.
You are a joke.
It seems like morroccans are like insects that do nothing but bash algerians in the internet. Maybe you should find something else to occupy your mind.
Renette l'oranaise,n'a jamais eu de pere marocain!
C'est une chanteuse Algerienne(de pere et de mere)de confession juive.
Sa musique est 100% Algerienne.
Decidement ces marocains...toujours a essayer de s'approprier la musique Algerienne,d'une maniere ou d'une autre.
merci
Vive Oran et vive l'Algerie Libre.
