Ya Rayah and what it means to Algerians

If there was a song that any Algerian would recognise, it would be YA RAYAH by DAHMANE EL HARRACHI. Its been covered by Rai Singers...street singers and most Algerians after hearing a few notes will know it...Here is the beloved YA RAYAH in 2 versions. One old and one popularised by Rachid Taha.



Rachid's version



And no I am not kidding, An INDIAN VERSION OF THIS ALGERIAN SONG... I am a little horrified.. hhahahah
