Blonde dans la Casbah

[1] With Blonde dans la Casbah, produced by composer Joseph Racaille, the actress-singer's second album is a cabaret, served by arrangements with delicate inlays piano, violin and brass, guitar and mandolin.

Born of a sudden idea by Olivier Gluzman - now Biyouna's agent having sought her out in Algiers - Blonde dans la Casbah was released October 17 by Naïve.

With backing including Henri Agnel (guitars) and Mustapha Mataoui (piano), Biyouna gave the premiere in Paris on stage in a series of concerts at Le Divan du Monde.

In 2007 Biyouna performed the tracks in concerts in Algeria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

In 2008 the songs were performed in North America, where Une Blonde Platine dans la Casbah, Ta'ali and Tsaabli ouetmili were well received.
