Saeeda Baida from the Masterpieces of  Algerian Folk Heritage 

Muhammad Rahhal (Algeria)

Sheikh Zeroual Mohamed, born in 1923 in Al-Hasasna Al-Gharaba in the state of Al-Ashiq and currently resides in Al-Maamoura, Al-Hasasna District, Al-Jazeera State. Sheikh Zeroual is from the Ouled Kafifa tribe, a Bedouin tribe that used to practice migration and live on upbringing before settling in Al-Hasasna Al-Gharaba, previously inhabited, at the beginning of the nineteenth century AD, around 1840 AD. Important figures from the important stars or members of the social interest prompted scholars from university students and researchers to ask if they ever asked about the original words of this song, how it mattered to existence, and how it became: Zeroual Mohamed, known as Sheikhwal, a poet in popular poetry in the forties, where he composed several poems in praise of the first of God the righteous and in love, and some of them were linked to the history of Algeria during the era of French colonialism at that time. Among these poems are those known locally and nationally, which became very famous due to their singing by many singers. #Bedouin_popular_song From the forties to the end of the last century and until today The original name, long liberalism: moderate liberalism In 1944, the forced transfer of Algerians began and they were taken to France, where they were singing. It was linked to the colonial period on the one hand and the life of Sheikh Zeroual on the other hand. It is the song (Happy, wide and the shameful is expensive). This was during World War II, when the French colonial authority forced the recruitment of young Algerians by the preferred means, and the recruits were transported by train. At this time, Sheikh Zeroual was living a true love story. Then came the events that had a strong impact on the composition of this idea, which is still famous. They celebrate it to this day, and the word Happy, wide and shameful became due to the fact that they transported the color of the Mujahideen by train from the West to their departure to France, as they fought the pain to sing this attempt on them and the experiences of the terrible massacres on May 8, 1945, when France broke its promise and wanted the massacres and killed 45,000 martyrs. This became famous The language is more after independence, where the sheikhs of Al-Malhun revolved around it in that period, so they restored it. We mention among them Sheikha Rahma from the state of Sidi Ben Abbas, Sheikh Al-Hattab, Sheikha Al-Rimiti, and Sheikha Habiba, all of them sheikhs who restored the heritage in the sixties of the last century, and I specifically mention these areas in western Algeria, the western state of the old Asal, including Al-Bayadh, Al-Mashriya, and Sidi Bel Abbes, after including the art of Rai, and Sheikh Ayba Al-Saghir in 1977, during that entire period in which the art of Rai began to emerge from the sheikhs, a mold to go to the youth after the eighties and until the eighties and even Cheb Khaled, and even as it began and sang it twice 1981///1983, then the art of Rai became famous and was recognized in 1985 to go to the world, as Mami Aaz traveled, singing the song "Saeeda Baida" in 1994, part of it in the year of the sad year after the death of Cheb Hasni, part of it is famous and reached the world, and the latter is still sung in all festivals. It is considered heritage, and the song is always in demand in folk poetry festivals in the West. Algerian, which immortalized a period of colonialism by the elders of Malhun, to be passed down from generation to generation, to remain preserved in the Algerian folk heritage,
