DJ Hadj Sameer, collector and digger, looks back at the history of rai in a new series "Raï is not dead", broadcast on the French-German TV channel Arte, which is also directed with Simon Maisonobe and Grégoire Belhoste. The six-episode TV series follows Hadj Sameer, whose goal is to make a mixtape with the most iconic rai tracks. From Paris to Algiers, from Raina rai's electrifying "Ya Zina" to Cheb Khaled's iconic "Didi", the series "Rai is not dead" tells the story of the birth and global rise of rai, while focusing on the strong figures of this musical genre, and in particular the female ones (e.g., Chaba Fadela, Sheikha Rabia, ...)
