Raïna Raï (راينا راي) – Hagda (​ه​ك​د​ا​)

A new name for me to enjoy!  Raïna Raï are (were?) a band from Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria who gained a massive following with this album, released in 1982.  On the 40th anniversary of its release, the album, lovingly curated by Elmir Records, highlights one of the best raï records of the 1980s.
