Ahmed Zergui
Ahmed Zergui was an Algerian raï singer-songwriter.
He was a pioneer in introducing the Wah-wah pedal into raï music. In the 70s he founded the group Les Frères Zergui consisting of Kacem Atek, Benyamna, El Ârbi, Bengamra. It is believed that "Les Frères Zergui" was not composed of brothers but rather of a group of friends. In fact the nickname of the Zergui brothers was chosen at the time by the editors and this among other things because of their tanned complexion.
Zergui died on 27 November 1983, in a road accident, while driving his car.
