Cheb Djalil is a contemporary Algerian raï singer whose music has garnered significant attention both in Algeria and in other countries where the Maghreb diaspora has a presence. The artist's style stays true to the roots of raï music—a genre that originated in Western Algeria in the 1920s and 1930s as a mix of Algerian folk music and influences from Spanish, French, African-American, and Arabic musical forms.

Cheb Djalil's discography features a collection of tracks that embody the energy and thematic concerns typical of modern raï, such as love, social issues, and the complexities of living in the contemporary world. His songs are especially known for their catchy melodies, dance-friendly rhythms, and his distinct vocal style. Tracks like "Ma Tfakrounich Beli 3achki Rah," "Alik Nmout," and "Omri haba cristal" showcase his ability to blend traditional raï instrumentation with modern electronic beats, appealing to a younger generation of listeners. With a consistent stream of releases, like "Zakzoukati Ya Hilwati" and "Na3tikoum Ibiza," Cheb Djalil maintains a strong presence in the Algerian music scene while contributing to the dynamic evolution of raï music.
