Sami Galbi

In the artist's words:

A Swiss-Moroccan musician from alternative French-speaking scenes, Sami Galbi draws on the music of his childhood. He rediscovered this in the cabarets of Casablanca, based on Raï and the Chaâbi, that he interprets in his own way. With his analog machines, synthesizers and guitar effects, he likes to modulate some of the North African folk music influences by giving them a pop texture and a club atmosphere. On stage, Sami serves high energy music borrowing the codes of urban styles like bass and West Coast hip hop.
