Raï'n'B is a musical genre that appeared in the 2000s in France, which mixes elements of Algerian raï and French contemporary R&B.[1] It is also distinguished by beats inspired by house music and dance.[2]
History
editIn 2004, two compilations each mixing raï and contemporary R&B were published: Raï'n'B Fever by Kore & Skalp and Des 2 mots by DJ Kim and DJ Goldfingers.[3] French singer Amine considers himself the godfather of the genre.[4] He became known in 2005 through his song "Ma vie", which was ranked 15th in France.[5] His songs "Sobri" (a duet with Leslie) and "J'voulais" also ranked well in the country.[6]
