Sid ElMachhour w/Leo Zeggaï: Abdou Special

Rai Chaabi
Hosts: Léo Zeggaï, Sid ElMachhour

In April Sid Elmachhour pays homage to Cheb or Cheikh Abdou, the first openly queer Raï singer. Channeling his fascination with the traditional female band called medahate, he affirmed a joyous style that secured, until today, his central place in the scene.
