"Ouargla El Gor," or also “Ouargla Wech Daret l’França” (What Algeria Did to France) is a Western Algerian folk song (public domain) revisited by Kaièn.

The title refers to Djebel Ouargla—a mountain in the commune of El Gor, in Tlemcen Province—not to be confused with the Wilaya of Ouargla. It is a tribute to the resistance fighters and martyrs of the Algerian Revolution who took refuge in this mountain outpost, where they fought valiantly for freedom against French colonial forces.

The song belongs to the “Alaoui” repertoire, a traditional militant music and dance form from Western Algeria, historically performed by male combatants to celebrate victory, express anti-colonial resistance, and affirm pride in the land.

As with many Algerian traditions, “Alaoui” continues on through devoted cultural guardians who breathe life into its heritage forms. Over time, women have readapted this once exclusively male dance, for modern celebrations—weddings, gatherings, and joyful rites.

This song and studio performance embody a modern vision of Alaoui, with Warda offering a Alaoui dance style “Au Feminin” "saff" — dedicated to how women Invoke the spirit of Alaoui in modern day Algeria.
