Raï'n'B

Raï'n'B (written Raï&B and Raï/RnB) is a musical genre that appeared in the 2000s in France, with elements of both French contemporary R&B and Algerian Raï.

The DJ duo Kore & Scalp established the style and released the ground-breaking compilation album Raï'n'B Fever in 2004 with the best examples of the genre that included Rap, R&B and Raï. Many further albums were released in the series in 2006 and 2008 (produced by Kore & Bellek), 2009 special "Même pas faigué" and Kore in the latest in 2011.

The musical movement has found most reception in the Maghreb countries, France, Belgium and other countries of the Arab World.
