Cheb Rezki — Ana Al Ghaltane

A quarter-century-old raï ballad from Moroccan singer-songwriter Cheb Rezki has surged across 59 country and platform charts today, up sevenfold from a weekly average near eight. The track is the title cut from an eight-song 2001 album, a slow-burning confessional built on the genre's signature blend of North African vocal melisma and electric arrangement — the singer casting himself as the guilty party in a collapsed romance. Its return coincides with a fresh BENYEG remix circulating on SoundCloud, which reframes the original's mournful phrasing for a dance-floor register and has widened the song's reach beyond its original Maghrebi audience. Raï catalog rarely travels this broadly this fast; the breadth of the current spread is the detail worth tracking as the remix filters through Francophone and Gulf markets.
