Casbah

What a great place and what a legendary area. It is called La Casbah and it is one of the oldest places in the capital of Algeria, Algiers. It was hardest area for french invader to go in and find leaders for the Algerian revolution. If you do not live in this area, you can not get out of it because it is like a maze, and nobody knows the place only the people who live there. The french had control almost all of Algiers and all of Algeria. But they did not know how to get into La Casbah. Women and men, were fighting together in different way and it was very hard for the french to have doubts about the women, they never thought that they will be involved. But at the end the invader had some sources to help them find the leaders and explode their houses because some of them did not want to serenader.

Fernie

One of my best experience here in Canada is when i went to Fernie resort in BC. It was my first time to snowboard and actually play with the snow even though i do not like the cold weather and snow, but i really enjoyed it. One thing that i didn't like about it is that i hurt my body alot, obviously because i was falling all the time. when i first learned how to stand up and go down the first hill for beginners i didn't know how to stop or turn left or right , so i hit everyone in my way. Everybody used to stop when they saw me going down because the know they will be in danger, but at the end i learned how to snowboard down the hill and stop. I was very pleased and happy because i learned i a new sport that i did not know before and specially not falling. i am looking forward to try it again.

Cheb Hasni

his name is Hasni Chekroun, one of algeria's unforgetable singers. Cheb means young and most of algerians Rai singers have it as an artist name. He sang about love, about youth, about poor but he was famous for his love songs that touched all algerian heart. Young generation and old, girls and boys. He was singing about true events that he experienced in his life, and share them with everybody, and his songs dealt specially about youth problems just like his talking to them or about them. His feeling were true and his words were just right and sensitive. He is from the city of Oran, him and cheb khaled and they made Rai music famous and international while that time arabic music did not exist only inside the arab world. Then came after them another singer called cheb mami but that was in the early 1990's. unfortunately he was assassinated in 29th sep, 1994 and the algerian music went down almost stoped, and too many singers quit singing and many of them imigrated to france becuase of the islamic fundamentalist threats. specially Rai singers becuase they say this kind fo music is provocative, and it is mostly about taboo subjects. alomst 6 years or more none of Rai singers published any album after Hasni's death only out side algeria. Rai means (opinion) so all thses singers expresed their feelings through Rai music. They could not express it in that time but after year 2000 things got better and algeria became like before. Hasni is always going to be in algerians heart and we still listen to his music until now, and he still alive with us. we can not forget you!!!!!!
