زِين

Zine is Suki's raï and Maghreb hour, every afternoon at two: Khaled, Cheb Mami, Rachid Taha, Idir, Cheikha Rimitti, Dahmane El Harrachi, Hamid Baroudi — Oran, Algiers and Kabylie, the old cassettes and the ones that made it to Paris. Seven hours a week on Arabica.

Arabica is one of the channels of Wa3, the one for Arabic music — tarab and the classics, Lebanese and Egyptian pop, mahraganat, dabke and Arabic rap, with hosts from across the region. Every channel is a separate round-the-clock stream with its own line-up: switch between them in the player.

To listen, open the player and press play — no app, no account, free. زِين is on at the times below; outside them the channel keeps streaming its other shows, and you can tune in from any player with the MP3 stream.

Khaled, Cheb Mami, Cheb Kader, Cheb Rezki, Cheikha Rimitti, Dahmane El Harrachi, Dallo, El Shab Arab
