- Raï swept over Algeria in the early 1980s. A few years later, the leading figures of this musical movement: Cheb Khaled, Cheb Mami, Chaba Fadela set out to conquer France where they imposed themselves. Algeria then finds itself in an impasse of which the riots of 1988 will be the social echo; aspiring to a liberalization of morals, it suffocates under an ideological and moral yoke. For the first time, the raï, born in the territory of Oran, dared to express with force the misery of life, the aspirations of youth, but also the intoxication of the senses. Drawing from the source of their culture, young singers claim to be the heirs of the chioukhs, these artists of the beginning of the century who sang the classic texts of Bedoui and popular Arab-Andalusian poetry, in order to affirm the expression of the Arabic language to provide the cultural weapons of the nascent Algerian nationalism. With the death of Cheb Hasni, with the threats hanging over the artists and forcing them into exile, the terrorists think they have triumphed, but raï sets out to conquer the world, allowing millions of people to better understand Algeria. , an Algeria bruised and more creative than ever. Algeria, El Djazaïr, in love with freedom has given the world forever the raï as a heritage.

The Parakana Indians undergo the first contact which begins the process of their pacification. They are attracted by presents laid out in the forest, then settled around camps. They are then confined to indigenous reservations before being completely assimilated by our conquering civilization. All such pacification is initiated through strategic or economic pretexts. The Amerindian civilizations of the Brazilian Amazon are either dying or definitely defunct. What can they reveal to us today aside from our own cruelty, ignorance and arrogance?

- The "magyal" is, in Yemen, a daily gathering where friends chew the "kât" together, talking and listening to music or poetry. A musician is showing us his instrument, the ancient lute, which can only be found now in Yemen and in the Comoros; the "qanbus" or "Sana Oeûd", at the harmony table which has been covered with goat skin. The singer can enhance his lyric poetry by hitting out a crystal-like sound from a copper tray. In the Yemeni society music can't be separated from poetry. The words of the song must be fully understood to feel the emotion conveyed by the singer. The Bedouin clarinet player is playing a last tune on views of the towered-houses of the old town of Sana. Silence takes over when dawn gradually switches from darkness to daylight. Then profane music is replaced by the muezzins' sacred music, their voices echoing each other from one minaret to another.
