Culture, roots and identity are the key concepts in the songs of the
Moroccan singer Khalid Izri. His impressive voice is devoted entirely
to Berber traditions. He performs both gentle and powerful songs on
such themes as immigration, the status of women and the contradictions
in society, but at the same time he of course also defends his own
Amazigh culture and condemns the injustices done to the Moroccan
Berbers. Khalid Izri's velvety voice and outstanding songs have given
him almost mythical status in the Amazigh culture.
