Raoui (راوي "storyteller") is the first album of Souad Massi, the Algerian-born, Paris-based singer-songwriter, released by Wrasse Records in 2001. It was given a three-star rating by AllMusic reviewer Chris Nickson, who concluded: "there's plenty of promise for the future, as long as she really remembers her roots and doesn't wander the empty halls of rock." The Arabic lyrics and translations are published.
