“As she sings, plays guitar and dances, you quickly realize you are witnessing a professional who is in command of not only everything happening on stage, but as well is holding the entire audience under her spell.”

Djazia Satour's individual brand of funk, folk and pop-infused grooves is suffused with influences from her Algerian upbringing. Mixing 1950s Chaabi with the tribal rhythms of bendirs, juxtaposing modal melodies from a banjo or mandola with deep bass and energetic analogue keyboards, she creates a cosmopolitan blend of then and now.
Djazia Satour moved to the French city of Grenoble in 1990 and at the age of 15 she joined the Gnawa Diffusion ensemble as a singer before raising her profile as the voice of electro-trip-hop combo MIG. She struck out on her own in 2010 taking a more acoustic direction on her debut EP, Klami, a sound she expanded upon in her following two full-length albums, turning her attention lyrically to themes of dispossession and exile on her latest release, Aswât.
