khaled hadj brahim, the 'king', stimulant and detonator of the ra bombshell, born on february 29th, 1960, in sidi-houari (oran), was the first to add keyboards and a beat box to the music of his country. he gained huge popularity in 1985 at the first algerian ra festival, and in recordings, after the success of songs like 's'hab el baroud', 'sidi boumedine' and 'yamina'. khaled gives out the full measure of his talent on stage. his raucous (rocker's), sensual voice turns the simplest lullaby into the catchiest heady speed-blues, tracing imaginary arabesques. his singing captures all the cares of the world. khaled was the first north african singer ever to enter the french charts and is the person who introduced north african-oriental music to the world. the maghreb soul series is dedicated to the formative years of the ra genre, a fusion of the north african arabic sound and musical intonations with the glitzy pop flooding over from the other shores of the mediterranean. five albums in all make up the series, featuring artist collections by cheb khaled, cheb mami, cheb hasni, cheikha rimitti and a various artists collection.
