The septuagenarian Cheikha Rimitti is the godmother of rai, a no-holds barred singer with a voice like sandpaper, a larger-than-life personality and a gift for raunchy lyrics. With the success of younger rai superstars such as Khaled has come renewed recognition for Rimitti, and this latest album combines traditional instrumentation with the modern rai pop sound of synths and drum machines. She is assisted by the production of Mohammed Maghni and Bellemou Messaoud - two key figures in modern rai - who help make tracks such as "Nakhla", "Mani Man" and the seductive "Saida" truly irresistible. After almost half a century, Rimitti?s powers show no signs of waning and Nouar includes some of her best work ever.
