Algerian singer Cheb Bilal discusses global reach of rai music
2008-06-03
Rai fans fortunate enough to attend this year's Mawazine festival in Morocco were treated to a concert by Algerian singer Cheb Bilal. In a recent interview, the singer spoke with Magharebia about his experience at the festival and about his philosophy on music as a vehicle for social change.
By Imane Belhaj for Magharebia in Casablanca – 03/06/08
 [Imane Belhaj] Magharebia sits down with rai artist Cheb Bilal to discuss this year's Mawazine festival and Bilal's conviction that music can bring about social change. |
After the end of this year's successful Mawazine festival in Morocco, Algerian rai singer Cheb Bilal spoke with Magharebia about his participation in the festival and the event's value in bringing artists and fans together. Cheb Bilal's concert attracted a solid turnout of young Moroccan rai fans.
Magharebia: How would you describe your experience participating in the Mawazine festival?
Cheb Bilal: It was truly positive, not to mention very important to me, as I got to meet my Moroccan fans. The festival also was an opportunity for Arab and foreign artists to open up to one another. Plus, it was a chance to get in touch in global cultures and arts, as embodied by leading talents such as Whitney Huston from the US, Ziggy Marley from Jamaica, Nancy Ajram from Lebanon, and Asala Nasri from Syria, as well as many other big names who took part in the event.
Magharebia: Do you think such encounters could yield joint ventures?
Cheb Bilal: Definitely, because the only language that prevails is that of art, away from all geographic or ethnic boundaries. That artistic pollination is indeed wonderful. I believe the Mawazine festival realises this objective, since it lures stars from various countries, all driven by the desire to get know about the art of the "other", to communicate through joint projects. I am ready to embark on any bilateral project with Moroccan artists.
Magharebia: You believe that art is an avenue to engaging others, then?
Cheb Bilal: Yes, artists have managed to achieve what politicians fail to do. The proof is that Mawazine united the flags of various countries, and brought together artists of various religions, for an event with the sole purpose of co-existence and relinquishing hatred and malevolence.
Magharebia: Does Bilal sing against hatred and malevolence?
Cheb Bilal: I sing for love and against betrayal. Most of my songs are inspired by the reality of young people and their suffering away from their homelands. I am one of them, and have been through the same thing; I migrated from Algeria to France when I was just 21.
Magharebia: What do you think of the music of young people nowadays?
Cheb Bilal: It expresses a certain reality and certain emotions. I believe every generation searches for its own means of expression. Young people find at present in rap, hip-hop and rai the artistic means of expressing their reality as well as their needs.
Magharebia: Why did rai music manage to spread and become such a big hit worldwide?
Cheb Bilal: I believe that boldness and crossing red lines are the secrets behind the success of that genre of music that made it big worldwide. Rai artists tackled topics dauntlessly in their songs as they shed light on social taboos, especially when rai started crossing Algerian borders and heading toward immigration countries in the early nineties. Rai thus became global in nature.
Magharebia: Is there any difference between Algerian rai and Moroccan rai?
Cheb Bilal: I do not recognize that distinction. Rai is one in terms of topics or tunes, be it Moroccan or Algerian. We all live in the same Maghreb region.
Magharebia: It is evident that your style in singing has not changed, why is that?
Cheb Bilal: I choose to rely on lyrics that are closer to people and on simple popular rhythm. I plan on pursuing my career in that same direction because, in plain terms, I am "son of this homeland" who will always treasure his Maghreb roots.
Magharebia: What are your future plans?
Cheb Bilal: I prefer not to discuss new projects until they are done. What matters is that I am constantly keen on remaining true to my style of singing and up to the expectations of my audiences, especially young people who find themselves in my music, just as I find myself in their problems, which constitute a realistic material for my output.

Thank you for delighting us with your interview. The truth is, I have known Bilal for ten years and I consider him a true artist, bringing us songs that touch us. To me, he will always the best of the best, end of discussion! Long live Bilal! Your friend from Marrakesh Yassine

Cheb Bilal is great, very great.

Bilal sings for the young people of the Maghreb. He is a top artist. Ghlizane Jiwiya. What are the new works of Bilal Mouwafak?
malek Posted 2008-06-20
My dear brother, Cheb Bilel is a good rai singer, but he is far from being Khaled, Mami, Hasni, Nasro and, especially, Kabihe, who was the last one to compete with him at the great cabaret of Boukha, Oran. He often fills in for the latter in this event and does so with the fervour of the fans behind him. Ever since, he has truthfully been getting better!!!
سوسو Posted 2008-06-21
The legend of Bilal will always be number one.
mohsine Posted 2008-06-27
Indeed, the truth is that Cheb Bilal is the best rai singer in the world. He sings real rai. He is a great artist. Bravo Cheb Bilal! Long live Cheb Bilal!

Thank you Bilal. You are still young. We are waiting for your new work after a success. Amen my Lord amen.
attabiayoub Posted 2008-07-04
All rap singers are the cause of disasters in Algeria. Their songs are indecent. They just sing about women, alcohol and theft as if they are talking about their own lives. They have a shameful immoral influence on young people.
ابراهيم Posted 2008-07-06
Cheb Bilal is a great artist and my favourite.

ahmed20 alger adrar /charouine Posted 2008-07-22
There are two types of songs: constructive songs and destructive songs. I think that Cheb Bilal presented the first type in a very good way. The best thing in his songs are provocation and enthusiasm.
يونس Posted 2008-07-24
Cheb Bilal is the best singer. This is shown by his concerts which attract thousands of young people. Long live Cheb Bilal.
mohamed Posted 2008-07-31

My brother, Cheb Bilal is great and knows his interest. By God I love Cheb Bilal. By God my brothers, Bilal doesn'€™t talk from nothing. He talks from reality. I am not lying to you. By God I love him to death because he is a singer and top singer. I ask God to protect him for us. Amen my Lord, amen. I tell you something, Bilal, by God I love you from the first day I heard you. I love you my brother and dear Bilal. Take care of yourself.

Long live Cheb Bilal!
bilal algerien Posted 2008-08-10
When I listen to Rai songs, I find only Cheb Bilal after Hasni in his great songs. His songs have taken the hearts of the fans of Bilal in Algeria from the North to the South, in Morocco, France, Boston, Germany, Belgium and many other countries. He is brilliant in choosing the songs and in the way he sings. Honestly, the first thing I heard since I was young is Bilal. He is the best. As for the others, they are far below. El Aued.
ايمان Posted 2008-08-13
Pride to Bilal. Long live Bilal. Bilal forever. I die for the songs of Bilal.
ahmedmax Posted 2008-08-15
Khaled is Rai! He is the best and that is all there is to it.
Betty Posted 2008-08-17
Bilal is a true angel from Heaven! And, actually, I know you, “Yassine from Marrakesh”. You were on the forum with us at cheb-bilal.com!!!
ABDELALI Posted 2008-08-19
I love you Bilal because there are many nice things: 1- the voice, 2- You like the ordinary and poor man, 3- have a nice heart, 4- the nicest person on Earth. I love you Bilal.
حسن Posted 2008-08-26
Bilal is a great artist. I like everyone for whom Mohamed Taj Eddine Ainous, may God rest his soul, sang. He died in July 2007. He sang with Redouane, Jeloul, Hassane, Janate, Abbass...

I am Sofia from Rabat. I love so much Cheb Bilal. Long live Bilal. By God, it is only Bilal who is there.
hala Posted 2008-08-28
Yes, Bilal has realistic songs. I have attended Mawazine festival and saw the audience in attendance to see Bilal. It was far more than the audience of Asala, Nancy, Diana and David Vendita.
hami Posted 2008-09-02
Hi everybody, My name is Hami. I love the king of rai, Cheb Bilal. He is a great singer. He sings about the problems we have in life. Honestly, he is very nice. Thank you, Cheb Bilal.
ancien musicien de bilal Posted 2008-09-07
To the regret of the fans, Bilal is not who you think he is. I am a musician and I worked with him. I composed a lot of pieces for his albums and did a lot of concerts in France and elsewhere. He was dishonest with me and ever since he has been in debt to me. I turn to God, who is charged with setting things right. Ever since, I have felt deeply betrayed, so much so that I completely forgot about my profession as a musician. But, such is life!!! This looker is no monk, my dear readers.
moi aussi Posted 2008-09-10
I also had the same problem, they did not pay me what I was owed. But, forget about it: he is a wretch with a complex. He hides the truth. He is so horribly pompous and indiscreet that he needs a helmet to shield himself from himself. We must have played together? When was this? The fans are naïve or, rather, gullible. If they only knew who he really was!!! In the end, you changed your profession and so did I, and this is no worse. Did you know there is a legal service in Sacem. You can address them and they will take care of this case. Stay strong!
younesse Posted 2008-09-12
Hi Bilal. How are you? Aren’t you going to visit Sidi Bannour, province of El Jadida as soon as possible?

Hi everybody, I also met Cheb Bilal in 1998. I am not surprised by said behaviour. I am sorry for these two musicians. Stay strong, both of you.

I like so much the songs of Cheb Bilal. They talk about reality we live in. Bilal is great. If you want to know what Bilal says, contemplate his words not just listen to the songs. The words of Bilal are right. He talks about young men, girls and unemployment.
karim Posted 2008-10-05
Bilal is a great artist.

ancien musicien de bilal Posted 2008-10-24
Thank you, Liina, for your courteous message of encouragement. Life is fair and you know that this guy, Bilal, will pay one day. He is already unhappy and unstable. He is a paranoid schizophrenic and full of complexes that he hides behind sunglasses and a hat. –See you soon
youssef(de.guercif)maroc Posted 2008-10-28
I like listening to Cheb Bilal’s songs. I would like to meet Bilal if it is possible. This would be an honour for me. Good luck to the king of rai, Bilal.

I am abndoulitiki from Casablanca. Raja forever. I like Cheb Bilal so much, by God. But I am sorry because I never saw him standing with me. May be I want to be with Cheb Bilal, by God. We Moroccans like him, by God. But I am always happy with Cheb Bilal. I have an ipod and always listen to Bilal, the songs of Bilal “oudima ma amine yarbi amin”, “abali”, “chouf chouf”, “kiwahran kimacasa”, “cheriki”, “mane doire ldoulare”, “souhila” and “jet palazare”. Morocco, by God, likes Cheb Bilal.
liina Posted 2008-11-05
Thank you for the comeback! I think it's already paying off. -See you soon
liina Posted 2008-11-05
This message is to the former musician. One thing to keep in mind is to never give up on your passion. Do not stop just because of this failure. I think that Bilal is a victim of his popularity and certainly worth pitying. –See you later.

Honestly, Bilal you are always great, the king of rai because you have a great style. You and Cheb Nasro prince of the sentimental song, take care of yourselves because you lift the flag of the Algerian artist and Nasro in Chicago. Really you 2 are the stars of rai.

This message is for the old musician of Bilal. If you want to flirt with Lina, don’t criticise Bilal because I know you well brother. I am one of the musicians of Bilal. If you were really right and with a good will, you wouldn’t have changed your job. A lost word my brother, God knows what He does. God endowed Cheb Bilal and you want to take from him. You’re tattered my brother and this is good for you.
abdo raska Posted 2009-03-16
My brother Bilal, you betrayed me and I forgive you because I haven’t written to you. I wrote to all the people. Your agent is a traitor. You don’t know that he swindled some songs. Everyone should know that “Amin”, “Tokyro”, “Sohayla”, “Kiwahran Kima Casa” are mine. May God forgive you, you don’t know this.

Good evening everyone- This is in response to Mr “bbb”: He is not forbidden from giving his point of view, and the same goes for him expressing himself. If everything is going fine for you, then fine, that is awesome. I send my greetings to the former musician. Believe me, it is not over with yet. This is surely just trading one small bad for one great good. See you soon I hope.
SAMIR Posted 2009-04-03
It is necessary to be fair in life. I do not see the connection between God and the stupidity of men. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. There are two musicians speaking about Cheb Bilal, and that in itself is quite a lot.
nouna Posted 2009-04-05
I love Cheb Bilal so much. No silly words will change my mind because I love the songs of Bilal because they are the strongest than what people and our lord live unfortunately. Cheb Bilal is the best and greatest singer I have seen. However, there are some ignorants who say he is just an idler who wants to lead on young people. On the opposite, he tries to wake them up from the inevitable world of injustices. I hope that you will consider my words as Bilal is one of the greatest singers.
oussama Posted 2009-04-14
By God, there is no one like Cheb Bilal. Even Hasni, Khaled or anyone cannot reach the level of Bilal. He talks about the reality we live, some problems and offers solutions. By God, he is great. I listen to his old and new songs, there are no repeated or meaningless words. On the contrary, everything is interesting for us. Thank you Bilal. I hope that you will achieve more success. Moroccans, by God, love you to death. Don't care about the words of enemies. As you say, they just seek your failure, they don't want your success. I am one of the fans and admirers of Cheb Bilal. I cannot live without listening to him. I am Oussama Hakimi, Casa, Anassi 40.
mohamed Posted 2009-04-21
I love Bilal so much. He is a great singer unlike Khaled, Mami...I have bought his new album 2008. Honestly, his songs are great. Don't care about gossipers and envious. You don't know your position in my heart. Thank you for all the songs you offered us.

Those who say that Bilal isn't good are ugly themselves and see all the people like him. Cheb Bilal is civilized and understands life very well. He knows how to choose well his songs. All his songs are clean and have a meaning. May God assist you and protect you for your family and fans. You admirer to madness Imane.

Long live Bilal! He is a great artist! He has found beautiful words for us with respect and without vulgarity. He respects his fans. His rai music is revolutionary. Personally, I hope he makes global music videos so that everyone the world over can watch and listen to them. In Algiers, we call rai singers "Chabi". Long live Bilal! Long live Algeria! Long live Morocco! Long live the Maghreb! You know the Arab Maghreb!

I love Cheb Bilal so much. I listen to his old songs 1985 because he is a great artist who has great talents. I hope he will return to his old art. Moufake Bilal July 13, 1966. Thank you.
