Souad Massi, a globally renowned artist, was long compared to Joan Baez and Tracy Chapman before establishing herself as a leading figure in folk/rock. Far from the raï music craze, Souad Massi, with her guitar slung over her shoulder and folk inspiration, has brought a new sound to Algerian music. In 2023, she received the prestigious Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics’ Award) in the Folk-Singer/Songwriter category, adding to her numerous Gold Records and a Victoire de la Musique (France).

Driven by her values of freedom and justice, she continues her journey with unwavering determination. Her new tour in 2026 accompanies the release of her upcoming album (Sony), which pushes the boundaries of both her musical universe and her commitment. Always seeking new horizons, she enriches her music with fresh influences and an even broader sonic palette.
