Rai concert in Paris in tribute to Cheb Akil
Cheb Akil
Paris - APS
About ten Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian singers gave a glowing tribute, at the Paris Cabaret Sauvage stage, to Cheb Akil who passed away one year ago in a road accident in Morocco.
Khalass, Djamel, Maria, Hassen, Fouzi and Zoubir, amongst others, sang Cheb Akil’s most popular songs, including “Diroulha El Aakl” and “Mazal Mazal”.
The event, which took place in a festive atmosphere, was organized at the initiative of Beur FM host DJ KIM who was a close friend of the deceased.
“I thank all the artists who responded to an open call. The profits of the event will be given to Cheb Akil’s daughters, it is only a symbolic gesture from Algerians in France,” the organizer told APS.
The Algerian Rai singer Cheb Akil died in a road accident which occurred 13 June 2013 in the region of Tanger-Tetouan (north of Morocco).

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
