Souad Massi

“A woman must always fight,” Souad Massi told Le Monde. Since the Franco-Algerian singer arrived in France 25 years ago, she has indeed fought decisively to preserve values such as freedom and equality in her career. She is always seeking innovation and, in this new phase, enriches her music with fresh influences and an even broader sonic palette. In recent years, she has already filled every hall at Bozar to capacity and is now back in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall, where she will present her new album Zagate (2026). Comparisons with Joan Baez and Tracy Chapman are not unjustified; Souad Massi’s poetic folk-rock style is imbued with a sense of commitment and self-reflection.
