Bons Baisers de Barbès, avec "L'Orchestre National de Barbès"

With a solid position on the territory of Barbès and within the North African community where it was born, the ONB is a group of eleven friends, Algerian, Moroccan and French. It mixes various kinds of popular music from North Africa with influences that belong more to rock or reggae and performs both at local fêtes and at concerts. It is a group of musicians with variable geometry : at the Zénith, it is called "Le Diwaan de Béchar", with Michel Pétry (drums), Ahmed Bensidhoune (percussion), Alain Debiossat (saxophone), Olivier Louvel (guitar), Kamel Tenfiche (percussion/voice) and Fathellah Ghoggal (guitar). But it can also be found as a trio with Aziz Sahmaoui (voice), Jean-Baptiste Ferré and Toufik Mimouni (keyboards), or as a duet : Fateh Benlala (voice) and Youcef Boukella (bass), in the company of a master of "chaâbi", in a restaurant. The ONB is surrounded by a host of producers from the community as well as a clever manager : Djilali Aïchoune. Marie-Christine Balcon.
