Cheb Nasro
Algerian-born raï singer Nasereddine Souïdi, aka Cheb Nasro, was born on

Raï Masters Vol. 1 , and has since released over 130. His success in Algeria and
around the world is considerable, and he calls himself the Prince of Sentimental
Raï, considered one of the best in the style along with the late Cheb Hasni. His
instrument of choice is the synthesizer, and in his instrumentation, electric
guitars can also be found on his tracks, giving a particular color to his
approach to raï. One of his biggest hit...
