Description
Abdelazziz Bekhti, aka Baâziz, was born in 1963 in Cherchell (100 km west of
Algiers). He developed a passion for local rhythms early in life, but was also
inspired by Bob Dylan, American rock'n'roll and French-language singing poets
like Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel. While most youthful Algerians were
obsessed with raï, a fiesty hybrid of an ancient wedding style with American
R&B, Baâziz was drawn to chaabi, a kind of working man’s blues, and maâkous, in
which classic songs are reinvented via metaphor and barbed satire. However,
Baaziz was forced to leave his homeland due to government disapproval. He now
lives in France where he continues to create tongue-in-cheek yet powerful rants
against military, religious and administrative oppression.
His second album 'Cafe de l'Independance' released in France, 2004 was banned in
Algeria virtually upon release.
