Raï n'B Fever returns: Kore, Rim'K, and Cheb Abbes release "Ana Wana"

The release of "Ana Wana" by Kore, Rim'K, and Cheb Abbes is the second single from the much-anticipated Raï n'B Fever Vol. 5 album, set to drop in 2024. This album not only promises new music but also celebrates 20 years since the first Raï n'B Fever album, a groundbreaking series that fused Raï, R&B, and rap into a unique genre that resonated across France and beyond.

The legacy of Raï n'B Fever

The Raï n'B Fever series was the brainchild of DJ duo Kore & Skalp, who brought together Algerian Raï and urban music in an innovative way. The first album, released in 2004, became an instant hit, followed by successful sequels in 2006, 2008, and 2011. The series featured collaborations with artists who defined the genre, such as Rohff, Faudel, Leslie, Amine, and Cheb Bilal. Each album built on the last, pushing the boundaries of Raï and urban music fusion.

Un Gaou A Oran

One of the most iconic tracks from the Raï n'B Fever series is "Un Gaou A Oran" by 113, Magic System, and Mohamed Lamine. This song became a massive hit and is still celebrated as a standout moment in the fusion of Raï with R&B and rap.

The return: Raï n'B Fever Vol. 5

As Kore prepares to release Raï n'B Fever Vol. 5 in 2024, excitement is building. Kore has described the upcoming album as a celebration of cultural unity and resilience, particularly in today’s challenging social climate. With "Ana Wana" and the earlier release "Lalla," featuring Hamza, fans are getting a taste of the nostalgia and innovation that this new installment promises.
