Chant que jai "trouvé" en filmant l'eau sulfurique des canions proche de Permet,Albanie. Chant trouvé avec mes amis de Timimoun à coté d'une source du Sahara.

Ancient Berber Chant of Exile performed at Cabaret Sauvage, Villette, Paris
for the remembrance of the great algerian journaliste Tahar Djaout who died for his beliefs
of saying the truth and was killed at the age of 35 years during the Printemps noir of 1993.



"Rusted Moon", written about the broken dreams of algerian people during the
printemps noir after Tahar Djaout was killed for his beliefs :
"If you say it you will die, If you keep quiet you will die, so Say it and die"
Tahar Djaout

"A Said Lamara", a traditional kabyle song which I interpreted and added my own
touch to...it is about a young woman in the forest who imagines her lover being transformed
as a little twig floating on the river...and she takes this twig with her back to her home so that
when the nite comes, the twig becomes her lover...
She fantasizes this and sings it to the river, as she knows that the villagers would never
accept nor allow her to bring her lover home.

"You can change Baby" - A song I wrote and sang for Ecological awareness. With Emmanuel Cornil
