Description:
Raï Story is a musical exploration tracing the origins of the Raï legend, Cheikha Remitti, in Oran, Algeria, the birthplace of the Raï musical tradition. Initially performed anonymously behind screens in 1923 to protect performers' identities, Raï music gained public recognition in the 1940s with the rising popularity of Cheikha Remitti. Now elusive, Cheikha Remitti’s absence prompts filmmakers to seek out producers, musicians, and singers like Cheba Dalila and Cheba Djenet, who were inspired by his work. Through these personal stories, accompanied by archival footage, the film highlights the significant role of women in Raï music and its evolution from the 1960s to the present day.
