Universal Music FrancePersonal profile
Khaled’s early raï performances incorporated electric guitars and, later, keyboards. Didi on the 1992 album Khaled brought that evolving sound to a wider international audience; Sahra followed with Aïcha in 1996. The sequence connects his Oran roots with changes in instrumentation and production.
