Cheb Khaled

Khaled Hadj Ibrahim, known professionally as Cheb Khaled, was born on February 29, 1960, in Sidi El Houari, a district of Oran, Algeria. Often referred to as the “King of Raï”, Khaled is widely recognized as one of the most influential and internationally acclaimed North African singers of all time. His music, which fuses traditional Algerian raï with pop, rock, and world music, has played a key role in introducing the genre to global audiences.

Khaled began singing at a very young age. Growing up in Oran — the birthplace of the raï genre — he was immersed in a vibrant musical culture that mixed Bedouin folk, French chanson, Spanish rhythms, and Arab-Andalusian influences. At just 14 years old, he recorded his first songs under the name Cheb Khaled (“Cheb” meaning “young” in Arabic, distinguishing him from older, established raï performers known as “Cheikh”).

In the early 1980s, Khaled’s energetic performances and bold lyrics, which often addressed love, freedom, and social issues, helped modernize the traditional raï style. His songs were rebellious, youthful, and full of life — resonating with a generation of Algerians seeking expression and change. Hits like Trig Lycée, El H’mam, and Hada Raykoum made him a household name across Algeria.

Diana hadded

Diana Joseph Fouad Haddad, known professionally as Diana Haddad (ديانا حداد), was born on October 1, 1976 in Bsalim, Lebanon. She also holds Emirati citizenship and is based in the United Arab Emirates. Over the years, she has become one of the most beloved and enduring voices in Arabic pop and folk fusion.

Diana was born into a family with diverse religious roots—her father was Maronite Christian and her mother Muslim. Because of the instability in Lebanon, her family moved to Kuwait, where she spent part of her childhood and attended school in Fahaheel. Later, geopolitical tensions forced her family to return to Lebanon, but throughout her youth, she shuttled between Lebanon and the Gulf region, absorbing varied musical influences.

At age 16, Diana took part in the Lebanese talent show Studio El Fan in 1993, performing a traditional Lebanese folk song. Her performance caught the public eye and paved the way for her first album. In 1996, she released Saken, which introduced her unique Bedouin-folk style merged with modern pop elements. The album was a commercial success and helped establish her as a new star in the Arab music world.

Her second album, Ahl Al Esheg (1997), reinforced her popularity, featuring the hit title track that remains a concert staple. That same year, her third album, Ammanih, delivered a defining hit. With Ammanih, Diana expanded her appeal beyond Lebanon by embracing other dialects and musical styles, including Bedouin (Gulf) influences, and broadening her vocal and stylistic range.
