Whether singing in Arabic, his maternal language, in French or in Spanish, Nedjim Bouizzoul uses his expressive voice to tell authentic stories that oscillate between realism and hope, calm and rage. He sings abut about exile while retracing the joy and distress that accompany a journey from your country of origin to a new home, and vice-versa.
