Souad Massi
O Houria - Liberty (CD)

WRASS277

Over the eleven years she has spent in France, Souad Massi has invariably led us down unexpected paths to unfamiliar crossroads. An Arabic-language folk singer? She actually remembers performing on the first rock record made in Algeria. An Algerian singer? What about the echoes of Cape Verde and Brazil in her songs? A world artist? She has entrusted her latest album, O Houria, to Francis Cabrel and his fellow traveller, guitarist and producer Michel Françoise.
On the album - all acoustic guitars and vocals recorded up close - Souad Massi sings in French, Arabic and English. From 'O Houria', a hymn to liberty, to her outburst on 'Stop Pissing Me Off'; from the tragedy of 'Nacera', a battered woman, to the humanist compassion of 'Un Sourire (A Smile)', she expresses a complete range of emotions, laid bare by Cabrel and Françoise’s production.
