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 franoise. 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 franoise's production.
