Very nice music.

Leading the funkiest Arabic Rai outfit in the UK. RAI originates from traditional Algerian music(Chaabi, Kabil, Chawia, pop...). Its main features are percussion, singing and dance. Based on strong rhythms, it is a very dynamic and danceable music, the music of today’s generation and the most popular music in North Africa. It quickly spread to neighboring countries: Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and is now very popular in the Gulf States too. Since France has a large Magrebian population, RAI music is now part of the French culture, SAADOUN does some rapping in French & Arabic

No he is not

Checking his website it seems he is from a Saadoun family in Algeria. No relations.

Nice music. I really like the Maghreb music. The Morocon display at Epcot center at Walt Disney, Orlando, FL has nice live concert every night with music from the Maghreb al Arabi. We have visited there last year and enjoyed that concert.
