Jrouli

Hooks that swirl around and around and never let go, rattling percussion, earworm synths, and auto tuned vocals come together in this psychedelic party music from Oran, Algeria. Cheba Wahida is the irreverent star of 21st century raï and her music gluttonously pulls in elements from R&B, moroccan gnawa, and dancehall for a hedonistic, unrestrained atmosphere that feels like it should be experienced on the streets of Oran. There is not one dull moment — just one banger after the other.
