The Algerian singer Akim El Sikameya, with his top C voice powerful but ambiguous carries a very singular Arab – Mediterranean universe _ between gypsy and jazzy tones, sometimes raï, flamenco or klezmer ska.
This new album, “Un chouia d’amour” ( he gives his bit of love with passion ) is like his violin : sometimes cheerful sometimes mournful but always standing – put on his lap – like Akim stands up to fondamentalism.
Akim is a libertine for present times, a rare artist not to miss!
