Rai with beats?

Love some Khaled music I've heard, but what I'm more looking for is rai in a modern style (not sure if there's different terminology for this type of music), which stands in relation to rai as desi stands in relation to bhangra.

Anyoen able to help?

right out of my depths here but, if i'm not mistaken, i think it was french rai that added drum machines, etc. i don't know any of the artists though.

Give this song a listen:

Medina - Magdansös (Youtube-link)

It's a Swedish 2004 homage to "Big Pimpin'," where bedouin music and Persian (or so my friend tells me) singing meets Twista-style rapping and booming drums. There's also a version with the Arabian drums as the only backing (like the last 15 seconds of the video-clip).

Thanks for the info - will try and look into this to find some key labels and artists.
