Sami Galbi is a young Swiss-Moroccan musician who has emerged from the alternative scene in French-speaking Switzerland, and was the big revelation of the Trans Musicales festival in Rennes in 2023.

Sami Galbi is a young Swiss-Moroccan musician who has emerged from the alternative scene in French-speaking Switzerland, and was the big revelation of the Trans Musicales festival in Rennes in 2023. He draws his inspiration from the North African music of his childhood: raï, chaâbi and melhoun. He rediscovered this music in the cabarets of Casablanca and has since made it his own, sublimating it with a touch of modernity. Among the eclectic influences shaping his music are a number of Algerian singers, such as Cheb Hasni, considered the king of sentimental raï, and Chaba Fadela and Raïna Raï. And American stars such as the Fugees, Black Eyed Peas and Beyoncé.
The way he sings in Arabic, which he learned to ask his grandmother about her family origins, exudes a traditional aura, which he projects into a resolutely refreshing musical universe. Using analogue machines, synthesizers and guitar effects, he modulates North African folk and popular music, giving it a pop texture and a club atmosphere. His high-energy music borrows from the codes of urban music such as English bass, west-coast hip-hop, dancehall and house. After a first solo European tour, his debut album will be released in early 2025, accompanied by a new series of live performances. At La Coupe d'Or, he'll be sharing the stage with Inès Mouzoune on keyboards and machines, and Yann Hünziker on drums.
