Originally from Algeria, Karim Chaya, the charismatic singer, chose to set up home in the Ménilmontant neighbourhood of Paris. For the past 7 years, he has sung, in French and in Kabyle, of his vision of the world, his doubts as an immigrant, and his daily life. Made up of generous and talented musicians (a powerful rhythm section combined with a wild brass section), El Gafla, “the caravan” in Arabic, transports the public into its world during tours in Europe (Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, etc.) or further afield (Kazakhstan, Algeria, Qatar, etc.).
