I believe the section on Raï should be moved to Raï and a smaller overview of what rai is should be on this article. Anyone have any other ideas before I do it?Aggelophoros 04:45, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

How much are you thinking? Generally, articles are split out when they reach about 32k in size (see Wikipedia:Page size), and I don't think this one is close. However, a paragraph or two could be easily trimmed. Tuf-Kat 08:48, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)
I understand what you're saying. I was thinking about swapping the content on the two articles, but a redirect page from Raï to here may be better. The page Raï is quite redundant in comparison to what is already contained on this article. Is that a better action? Aggelophoros 05:21, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I didn't realize the rai article was so short... I suppose the bulk of the text here maybe could be moved there. I would suggest combining the modern history bits of the two sections (kabylian folk and rai) and remove anything that seems too detailed for an article on the music of Algeria. I know I was the one that originally did it this way, but I think it would be better to make a single unified musical history of all modern Algeria for this article, and place the details of the genres and performers and such on their respective pages.

I don't know if I'm making any sense, but my point is that this doesn't read like an article on Algerian music -- it reads like two articles, one on rai and one on kabylian folk, combined one on top of the other. Combine the two, and I think the extraneous bits will be apparent and can be moved to rai. Tuf-Kat 07:11, Feb 15, 2004 (UTC)

hawzii or hawzi ?

hawzii ? --Mario scolas (talk) 07:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC) hawzii is no a redirect of Music of North Africa different of de Hawfi, but a style of andalousian music. --Mario scolas (talk) 07:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
