Why "Disco Maghreb" is the Song of the Year: DJ Snake Track Review (Part 1. Part 2 Linked below)

[@DailyDoseOfInternetFUNNYDOGS]

"aaywa" means "yes" for agreement, "zid wahda" means add another one means here dance to this song and also to the next one. "ragadah" is a word to describe dancing with all of our emotions. "achtah erdah" means come and dance with us. "achtah erdah ya baba" is a call for dancing to everyone. the word "baba" means father but here he gives whoever dance with him the same respect that gets every person, with strong personality you just have joins the party (it's a dare to show your capabilities as a dancer , and a call for dancing at the same time) "alaab, aalaab" means play your game. "arwah arwah" come here with us. "alik, alik, alik" look, look, look at what we have here. element of surprise. I'm a pround Algerian I hope everyone would be joining us in happiness and joyful occasion. thank you for this reviw.

Maghreb means all those countries that you mentioned BUT "disco maghreb" is the name of music studio in Oran "West of Algeria". Which means when he named his song "Disco Maghreb" , he didn't mean Maghreb (the countries you mentioned) but he meant THAT music studio in Oran.

[@samabd3665]

Exact! Disco Maghreb is the name of the studio that produced Rai Music…Cheb Khaled, Cheb Hasni and all others great singers. The Algerian music is very popular in the Magreb Region … and others countries. Dj snake loves his Home’s county music and this why he honored all the singers. The music he produced in the Allaoui Algerian music that’s very popular

[@daddydzintheprod]

He just sampled El Alaoui, wich is a traditional warrior music and dance from Western Algeria. It is danced by shoulder movements to the rhythm of percussion. The instruments used are the Gasba, the Ghaita, el bendir, el Gallal, and the darbouka and Disco maghreb is the lead label of the rai music

[@saidferhat7883]

DJ Snake is born in France from French Dad and Algerian mom. So he is French and Algerian and has names of William ( French) and Samir (Algerian). Actually the clip is entirely dedicated to his mom country and all video is made in Algeria and in Algerian language and music (only one small region of). Good watching and enjoy!

[@STOPEJECTPLAY]

"Disco Maghreb" is an ancient Algerian studio and means a lot to us, because it produced many international rai singers such as Cheb Hosni, Cheb Mami and Cheb Khaled. It is considered one of the first music studios in North Africa and the Arabs in general. I love Algeria❤

In France, whene dj snake talke about this song, hé said" i made this singel in memory of m'y second contrey for m'y mom, not for the big Maghreb, but for Algeria

[@jakaditetoi3270]

Hiya, Just a quickie bout the drum, the bendir is showing up in the vid but actually the one in use is the gallal, also called qallouz. This instrument is mostly in use in western Algeria. Dj Snake asked cheikh N'hari for a hand using the gallal. He did it for purpose. The N'hari name means the guy is rooted in the Ouled N'har trib. The OUled N'har are known for a typical tribal music, the Alawi. The Disco Maghreb tune is into Alaoui, winking to the Rai music but still in the Alaoui mood, when talking about rythmics. Second quickie, as said the windwood zurna is in use but the zurna is not in use in the Alaoui music, they use the gasba, a reed instrument. The zurna is a second wink to the chaoui music, eastern Algeria , the second mood is a chaoui one. I'm not sure about but I think Dj Snake is chaoui rooted, half rooted. j Thanks for sharing. PS: We're not suffering that much in Algeria. Most of us are trying not to live for the others' eyes, may be that the reason making these eyes looking at us with..let us say contempt. We really don't care about, we're still prefering our neighbours to our dogs. One has been flipping around the world for decades, serenity is something no bucks' huge amount is able to provide. I hope Algeria will remain hidden forever.

The language spoken in the song is definitely algerian dialect. So, to answer you, I belive even other arabic speaking regions probably won't understand it cause it's not modern standard arabic.

[@AlWarzy]

They understand it just fine, and the words used are as ancient as the Kaaba.

[@tinhi1]

Hi. This is a very interesting analysis of the song. I love how invested you are and we can hear it in your voice talking about a video you loved. Your students are lucky! The name Maghreb doesn't refer to the whole "Maghreb" it's just the name of a record label that was a huge part of Rai music history. What I loved about the video clip/ song is that he didn't try to embelish it and it's a kind of crude picture of the forgotten people in Algeria. I used and still love Allaoui music since I was a child and seeing it out there makes my year!!! People are missing out a lot and should pay more attention to north African music, Gnawi, Sahara rock music.. etc. I'm alway delighted to hear at the pool for example in the US someone who has Tinariwen for example playing, I'm biased, but I'd know instantly that the person has a great taste in music :)

[@tinhi1]

You are right about the "Alik, Alik, Alik" it's pronounced more like Leek which is a slang for look

[@dahaniffer]

the word maghreb it dose refer to the region and it meant the big west or in arabic ("maghreb alkabir "grand maghrib" "المغرب الكبير")and tha come from the before the colonization it was one all country . big salute from tunisia

The word "rdegada rdegada" is a continuation of musical voices pronounced in the same ways you pronounce for exemple in English "hey hey " when you dance. This type of dance was introduced by Algerian refugees in Marocoo during the Algerian Révolution. The Maroccans didn't exactly understand what it referred to and simply called it "regada" . The word does not mean anything simply an invitation to dance and follow the rythme which go with it. Any ways thanks ever so much for your interest of our traditionnal Algerian music.

Bonsoir Monsieur, J’aime votre analyse concernant les français d’origine algérienne qu’on appelle ici les maghrébins c’est à dire les Nord africains. Je suis comme votre amie Soumiya, une fille d’immigrés algériens- deuxième génération. Je suis maman de quatre garçons (donc troisième génération) de 27, 22, 13 et 8 ans. Mon fils de 22 ans m’a fait découvrir dès sa sortie le clip “Disco Maghreb”...plus les français d’origine algérienne sont stigmatisés plus ils sont fiers de leurs origines. Ce qui explique l’hommage si original de Dj Snake. Ce titre est prodigieux dans le sens où il ouvre une réflexion sur le colonialisme, la culture, le racisme, les racines,etc. Bravo William. Arrivée en Algérie à l’âge de 14 ans...J’ai vécu 9 ans en Algérie de 1985 à 1994...je me souviens des cassettes avec une introduction audio qui disait à chaque fois “Éditions Disco Maghreb présente”...je trouvais ça ringard. Grâce à mes camarades algériens j’ai découvert le Raï. Je voulais vous dire que le Raï n’est pas vraiment comme vous dites un genre de pop music, à mon humble avis le Raï c’est un Blues. La variation de Khaled à la fin du morceau est profondément émouvant, emprunt d’e nostalgie et de beauté ...j’en ai pleuré. Je retourne au bled cet été InchAllah, c’est le mieux que je puisse faire pour l’éducation de mes garçons et leur culture. Thanks you very much Sir. J’ai Pour finir

DISCO MAGHREB is the producing store in Oran, that have been the most wellknown and the 1st one in music forever within north african and middle east. The song was made for his Algerian roots not for NORTH AFRICA but for ALGERIA because everyone knows the other countries in north africa but people have no clue about us Algerian! The song is already in America. DJ SNAKE has a french Dad yes but he left when he was 2 years old he was brought up by his ALGERIAN mother. He was just very smart of making himself welknown as the french and when it is done BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM saying to the world finally that he is Algerian.
