Abdelkader Saadoun – Master of Rai Music
Join us for an electrifying night with Abdelkader Saadoun, the Algerian-born composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist who has become one of the world’s leading masters of Rai music—a genre rooted in Algerian tradition and infused with jazz, funk, flamenco, reggae, rock, and blues.
With a career spanning decades, Abdelkader has released acclaimed albums, led his band Takaleed, and performed for audiences as prestigious as Queen Elizabeth II and the Amir of Qatar, as well as alongside global stars like Gloria Gaynor, Maxi Priest, and INXS. He has graced major stages from WOMAD to international festivals, collaborated with legends including Airto Moreira, Hossam Ramzy, and the BBC Orchestra, and even appeared in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023).
✨ Expect a powerful fusion of Algerian rhythms, soulful vocals, and cross-cultural energy that will transport you across continents.
