It is known as “chaâbi-folk,” a form of traditional Algerian music that emerged about one hundred and fifty years ago by blending Arab music with the flamenco of Andalusia, and its princess is Souad Massi. Born in Algiers in 1972, this artist anchors her roots in an unmistakable immersion in the sounds she grew up with, shaping her distinctive style. Guitars and electronic elements are drawn into the poetry within her, like a woman living fully in her time, hypnotizing listeners with songs of exile and protest, expressed with profound emotional beauty.This album stands as a banner of modernity and cultural evolution in the music of North Africa, challenging the listener to immerse themselves in music that exists beyond contemporary logic.
