When was the rai music developed?

Rai, a genre of Algerian folk music, emerged during the 1920s and 1930s. It originated in remote communities of western Algeria, with the city of Oran serving as its main hub. The term "rai" is derived from the Arabic word "ra'i," which means "opinion" or "point of view."
