Often cited as one of North Africa’s greatest female singers, Souad Massi is back on tour with a new program from her sixth studio album El Mutakallimûn (Masters of the Word).

The album brings to life a set of Arabic poems that date back to the sixth century. Her performance will also include some of the greatest songs from her back catalogue - including Yemma, Deb, Amessa and Hayati.

She will be joined onstage by long standing companions and friends, percussionist Rabah Khalfa and guitarist Mehdi Dalil. Together, they enjoy an almost telepathic musical connection that speaks of deep love and respect for one another.
