This is a mere remix of Lux Aeterna By Clint Mansell (Requiem for a dream). Not Algerian music at all….

thank you Tariq for your comment, that helped a lot , Lux Aeterna has been used in the trailer of The Lords of the Rings , “the two towers ” , also used in the trailers of Zathura – Ein Abenteuer im Weltraum, The Da Vinci Code – Sakrileg, Babylon A.D. und Sunshine. Prince Negaafellaga is a french rapper from Algeria. I belive he used it as an introduction to one of his album , but that´s not sure …………..excuse me ^^
