Cheikh Sidi Bémol au Théâtre Corona

Théâtre Corona - Montréal 49,50 $
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Des chansons vibrantes, nerveuses à souhait et teintées de blues, telle est la composition de Chouf!, le dernier album de Cheikh Sidi Bémol. Porté par le charisme du talentueux Hocine Boukella, l’album est un appel poignant à l’éveil de nos consciences, une fenêtre sur un monde en proie à la corruption et au fanatisme religieux, tout en incarnant une profonde lettre d’amour au rock’n roll.

C’est en effet dans ce genre que Boukella tire ses racines musicales, et qui est à l’origine de son désir de chanter et de faire crier sa guitare. Évoluant dans les milieux underground algériens qui ne cessent de réinventer les traditions des musiques maghrébines, il fera ses premiers pas sur la scène parisienne sous les couverts du groupe Cheikh Sidi Bémol, traduisant ses inspirations diverses en un style unique qualifié de Gourbi-rock. Mêlant blues, rock, mais aussi chaâbi, gnawa et balades de style celtiques et berbères, ses textes aux multiples langues puisent dans l’humour et le sarcasme pour défier le statu quo et formuler un profond hymne à la liberté.

Fin observateur des luttes politiques, sa musique reste porteuse d’optimisme en exprimant une confiance dévouée à travers une jeunesse avide de liberté et assoiffée de changement. Chouf! est un manifeste électrique, en quête de savoir et tourné vers l’Autre. Teinté d’amour, en particulier pour les femmes, il dévoue deux balades en hommage à leur place dans la société, symbole généreux d’espoir et d’égalité. Un spectacle qui promet d’être exaltant.

Cheikh Sidi Bémol’s latest release, Chouf!, the band offers up dynamic, edgy songs with a heavy dose of blues. Buoyed by the charismatic vocals of the talented Hocine Boukella, this album is a rousing call to action against the forces of corruption and religious fanaticism, while also serving as a sincere love letter to rock ’n’ roll.

With Chouf!, Boukella returns to his musical roots, to what first inspired him to pick up a guitar and raise his voice in song. His career began in Algerian underground circles which saw the reinvention of traditional Maghreb music. Boukella first appeared on the Paris scene as a member of Cheikh Sidi Bémol, channelling his diverse influences into a unique style known as Gourbi Rock. Combining blues and rock with Chaabi, Gnawa, Celtic and Berber idioms, his multilingual lyrics use humour and sarcasm to challenge the status quo through rousing anthems to freedom.

A keen political observer, Boukella’s music remains steadfastly optimistic, brimming with confidence in a younger generation yearning for liberty and hungry for change. Chouf! is an electrifying manifesto, a call for new ideas and a battle hymn for the marginalized. Love—particularly love for women—is a recurring theme throughout, with two of the album’s songs paying tribute to women’s role in society, painting them as selfless symbols of hope and equality. Hocine Boukella puts on an exhilarating show that is sure to inspire.
