The results of the poll were just revealed. By 14 votes against 6, it was decided that raï will be introduced in the next NS !!

Although there has been some explanations which were misunderstood: of course there will NOT only have raï, but quite a few of it because it's a main genre of the Algerian music.
( Canal Algérie is currently working on the song list).

An Arabic song for NVSC #11 !

Now it's official. After long discussions, CA can now officially confirm that a song has been selected internally for the upcoming edition.

Few details were revealed at the moment, but the broadcaster can also claim that the song will be sung in the Arabic language for the first time.

Here is the declaration from the Head of Delegation, Phil A. :

"We've had quite a few controversies with our three first contestants ; now we wanted to listen to the audience's demands, and the main thing they asked was a song in Arabic language.
We still want not to say a lot about the artist and the song so far ; more details should be revealed after the Final Results of NVSC #10 .
At the moment we are focussing on the results of Algeria in the current edition, after we qualified to the Final for the very first time.
Good luck to Zaho in Bergen !"

Which kind of song could it be ? Only time can tell !
