Cheikha Rabia


At the age of sixty eight, Cheikha Rabia has recorded her new album drawing inspiration from paradoxical Black Sabbath rock mixed with funk groove range from hip-hop Beats, drums & bass in 2012.

Rabia was born in Relizane in 1944, a city near Oran in Algeria. She began singing at 11 years old through singing at celebrations and wedding parties. When she reached 14 years old, she worked all sorts of music even those formerly forbidden to women. Her provocative personality made her being coined as the ‘Mistress of Voice’ when she was 18 years old. Cheikha Rabia, one of the great Algerian voices expatriated in Paris was portrayed in 2001.

From the 1960s, she sang in cabarets of Algiers where it is a huge success with an exclusively male audience.

The singularity of her voice and her personality captivated new generations of Rock musicians and electronic music producers. Thus, made her even until now the eye of label Tiferet(e) which had produced her latest album.
