FMA 2025 | Chazil and His Raï 2.0

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Moyen-Orient / Levant / Maghreb / Raï

Additional Information

He’s being hailed as the one redefining the contours of Raï music. His melancholic voice lends itself perfectly to the themes of nostalgia and love often associated with this genre. At only 25, Chazil is already making waves. 2025 will be a landmark year for this young man from Constantine, in northeastern Algeria. He’s already put on a remarkable show in Paris, another in Jordan, and now he’s preparing to come to Montreal for the very first time for the Festival du Monde Arabe. He’ll be accompanied by Montreal-based musicians, and together they’ll introduce Montrealers to Raï 2.0. Sandra Gasana spoke with him live from Algiers for PAN M 360.
