Souad Massi

On 26 November 2026, Souad Massi will take the stage at Le Silo in Marseille to accompany the release of her next album. An Algerian singer-songwriter long compared to Joan Baez and Tracy Chapman, she has made her mark between folk and rock with crisp songwriting and melodies that serve socially engaged lyrics. In 2023 she received the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik in the Folk-Singer/Songwriter category, an honor that adds to several gold records and a Victoire de la Musique. True to her values of freedom and justice, she continues on her path uncompromisingly, seeking new ways to broaden her musical language. This tour opens a wider chapter: airy arrangements, guitars and percussion that enrich her palette, and influences that make themselves welcome without unsettling the core of her art. Her clear voice, her guitars and a direct sensibility remain at the center, for songs that speak of the intimate and the real. She often repeats that a woman must always keep fighting; on stage this conviction turns into songs that get straight to the point.
