Blending folk, rock, and poetry, the Franco-Algerian singer-songwriter and guitarist returns with Zagate, a glowing album where the gentleness of her voice meets the weight of the world.Exploring pain, anger, rebellion, but also courage and hope, Zagate reveals an artist in full self-affirmation, truer, more complete, more herself. Turning poetry into an act of resistance – a vibrant dialogue between the personal and the political, reflecting a free artist deeply engaged with the world. Driven by emotional strength and lyrical clarity, Souad Massi delivers daring work, more intense and direct than ever, without losing the fragility that defines her.
Often considered the most beautiful female voice of North Africa, Souad Massi has forged her reputation over the course of a career spanning more than 20 years, dubbed the Tracy Chapman of the Maghreb. Alongside her musical career, in 2005, she became a United Nations Ambassador for micro-credits, to help women in Africa.
