Artist Bio:
Kad Achouri uses the words French, Algerian, Spanish and Berber to define his fertile origins. Now based in London, the articulate composer has created a niche of his own thanks to his 2002 album Liberté and the 2005 follow-up Société.
Some compare Kad to a "hip-hop powered Manu Chao," but this does not do justice to the depth of his poetic interpretations. His collaborations include exchanges with Natasha Atlas and Vanessa Mae. —Courtesy Calabash Music
