The King is in the house: Raï was originally a music of the rural population of Algeria, initially incorporating trumpet melodies, then electric guitar chords or synthesizer riffs. In the 1970s “Raï moderne” became the rebellious sound of a disaffected youth—and soon established the young Khaled’s international reputation. This was followed by years in exile, with the King of Raï only returning to Algeria at the start of the new millennium. Following a celebrated Wassermusik concert in 2011, he now closes the anniversary celebrations.
