Hocine Boukella, aka Sidi Bemol, is an Algerian artist whose work crosses musical and cultural borders since the late 1980s. Known for his ability to fuse genres, he created a recognizable style combining rock, blues, chaâbi, and traditional Berber music. From Tizi Ouzou in Kabylia, he began his career in France where he developed this sonic identity distinguishing him. His lyrics, often imbued with humor and poetry, address social and philosophical themes, testifying to keen observation of the world around him. Albums like "Cheikh Sidi Bémol" or "El Bandi" impressed through their originality and richness.

The "Iwal" project represents a new step in Sidi Bemol's journey, exploring contemporary sonorities while remaining faithful to his roots. His music is an invitation to travel, a bridge between East and West, where traditional instruments dialogue with modern arrangements. Engaging melodies and varied rhythms are carried by a warm and expressive voice capable of conveying a wide palette of emotions. This alchemy makes Sidi Bemol a unique artist whose influence extends well beyond world music circles.
