► The spiritual heir to Cheikha Rimitti, Rabia is now the last of the singers to keep alive the traditional rai music from the Oran region of Algeria with its roots in Maghreb trance

► For years Cheikha Rabia has moved audiences at the Bedjaia club in Paris with her astonishing, almost masculine voice and emotional renditions of a traditional repertoire

► “Liberti” avoids the fusion with pop styles beloved of many contemporary rai singers but a small nod towards modern production techniques has resulted in a genuine roots album with a quietly updated feel.
