Music of Algeria - Music of Algeria Algerian music is virtually synonymous with raï among foreigners; the musical genre has achieved great popularity in France, Spain and other parts of Europe. For several centuries, Algerian music was dominated by styles inherited from Andalusia, eventually forming a unique North African twist on these poetic forms. Mixed with Ottoman influences, Algerian music came to include suites called nuubaat (singular" nuuba). Later derivatives include rabaab and hawzii. Sha-bii is, in most Arab countries, folk music; in Algeria, however, it refers to a style of recent urban popular music, of which the best known performer was El Hajj Muhammad El Anka. True styles of folk music include hofii, a form of female vocal music, and zindalii, from Constantine. Kabylia Kabylia is a region east.
