Ahmed Saber is sometimes considered the vital link between tradition pre-Independence Rai and modern Rai-pop. His career bridged the years in question and found him opposed to the post-colonial government. In songs that mixed Rai, wharani, and rhumba, Saber lambasted governmental inadequacies, for which he was repeatedly imprisoned. Although he died without a penny in 1967, his legacy endures in the interweaving of traditional Algerian music and western dance sounds.
