Born in Africa, DJ Awal came to France in the late Seventies.
During the nineties, he ran reggae sound systems ( Mix Mondial - Paris..) and played in festivals around Europe (Musique Métisse/France, Afrika festival/Germany...)
In 1998 he joined Yeleena (a non profitable association) and a collective of artists named New Bled.
The collective work contributes to the emergence of a new sound based on urban musics of the western world and North African beats.
Since a few years, DJ Awal plays live or dj set in clubs and festivals around the world. He has released many tunes and remixes on different labels.
His latest album 'Just One Night', is a blend of house, techno, D&B, electronic beats, african percussions and oriental dance !
