Bachir Charaf nasce in un villaggio nel sud del Marocco tra le popolazioni berbere. Fin da piccolo canta la musica che la cultura popolare del deserto gli ha trasmesso, poi, dopo viaggi lunghi anni si avvicina alle culture più disparate imparando a suonare anche le percussioni: impara a conoscere la musica tradizionale mediorientale e araba in particolare, il ray algerino e si avvicina all'india e alle melodie "kawale" del Pakistan. Ora vive tra la capitale marocchina, Rabat, e Venezia dove ha conosciuto il complesso di musica etnica sperimentale tantratribe e ha avuto l'occasione di collaborare con artisti spagnoli, tedeschi, libanesi ed egiziani.
Tra tanti gusti e forti influenze Bachir "la voce del deserto" ha sempre mantenuto quel timbro personale e una voce così raffinata e intensa che dicono riesca a trasportare una persona in quei luoghi così lontani e sconosciuti a noi.
A voi il viaggio nel deserto...
