Fadela and Sahraoui were a renowned Algerian raï vocal duo, consisting of Cheb Sahraoui (born Mohammed Sahraoui, Tlemcen, Algeria, 1 April 1961) and Chaba Fadela (born Fadela Zalmat, Oran, Algeria, 5 February 1962).
The couple married in 1983. Their debut record, "N'sel Fik", became an international hit, followed by further successes and tours, including US tours in 1990 and 1993. During their time in New York, they collaborated with producer and multi-instrumentalist Bill Laswell on the album "Walli". They relocated from Algeria to France in 1994, but separated in the late 1990s. Both artists have continued to work as solo performers.[1]
