Cheikh Sidi Bemol is uncategorizable. Someone qualified as "Gourbi Rock" the work rendered by this group, lead by Hocine Boukella (guitar & vocals). Cheikh Sidi Bemol's music, while deeply rooted into Algerian traditional ground, reveals a surprising freshness due to openings on Blues, Rock, Salsa or Celtic music and with exceptional musicians: Hichem Takaoute (bass), Khliff Miziallaoua (guitar) and Hervé Le Bouché (drums). Lively, moving, full of a friendly and corrosive humour
