The Algerian singer Akim El Sikameya, with his top C voice powerful but ambiguous carries a very singular Arab–Mediterranean universe _ between gypsy and jazzy tones, sometimes raï, flamenco or klezmer ska. This new album, ‘Un chouia d’amour’ - he gives his bit of love with passion - is like his violin : sometimes cheerful sometimes mournful but always standing – put on his lap – like Akim stands up to fondamentalism. Akim is a libertine for present times, a rare artist not to miss!  www.akimelsikameya.com
