Trailer Music

I saw a trailer online - on a French site - and a North African song plays as the soundtrack. I've heard the song before, but can anyone identify it?

Thanks!

Not false !

it is an instrumental cover of a song written (in the 60's or 70's ?) by an algerian musician nicknamed "Dahmane el Harrachi" (Abderrahmane from the city of El Harrach)

Ya Rayah could be translated "oh you the emigrant" or "oh you who are going away" (I don't think Moretti was aware of this possible meaning)
