With the spontaneous improvisation of its singers as the main ingredient of each song, rai constantly reinvents itself. In this style, Cheb Hasni, together with Cheb Nasro, embodies a second generation of musicians. With "love rai", or sentimental rai, Hasni sings of love, passion and misfortune -- away from the bittersweet daily chronicles of the first chebs and chebates. With nearly 150 cassettes, Cheb Hasni remains one of the most prolific and talented rai singers of his generation. Nearly thirty years after his death, this three-part compilation of rare tracks from his cassette releases on the Outre National label, is now also available as a 3LP Box, a tribute to Cheb Hasni's enduring legacy -- ya rai!
