Oran,
Algeria
Pioneering Algerian raï singer whose romantic, socially candid lyrics made him hugely popular before his assassination in 1994.
Cheb Hasni became one of raï's most beloved voices in Oran during the late 1980s and early 1990s, known for love songs considered daring for their directness, and his 1994 killing during Algeria's civil conflict made him one of the genre's most mourned losses.
