Artist Bio:
Cheb i Sabbah grew up Jewish of Berber (Amazigh) descent in Constantine, Algeria, so the idea of mixing cultures was, you might say, in his blood. He moved to Paris in the 1960s, and, more or less by accident, became a DJ. By the late 1980s, he was pushing boundaries
on the dance floor, seeking ways to work African, Asian, and Arabic music into the mix. Then, as the "world music" movement unfolded, Cheb i Sabbah took the inspired step of recording traditional and classical musicians himself and using those tracks to create bold, new
creations-effectively, music "composed" by a DJ. Based in San Francisco for the last 30 years where he has become sort of a musical
legend in his own right. His six albums on Six Degrees Records over the years include: Shri Durga (1999), MahaMaya - Shri Durga ReMixed (2000), Krishna Lila (2002), As Far As (2003), La Kahena (2005), and La Kahena Remixed (2005) his most recent albums being the most personal albums because they got to take him back to his North African roots.
