Franco-Algerian singer-songwriter Souad Massi returns to the Barbican in May 2026 to perform material from Zagate, her forthcoming album (March 2026/ BackingTrack Production).
Blending folk, rock and poetry, Zagate explores themes of pain, anger, rebellion, courage and hope. It reveals an artist in full command of her craft: honest, unguarded and unafraid to place personal truth alongside political reflection. Massi’s songwriting has long been defined by its emotional clarity, and here her melodies become acts of resistance – intimate, lyrical conversations shaped by both vulnerability and resilience.
Souad Massi
Best Newcomer nominee at the BBC World Music awards and hailed by the press as an immense talent, Souad's fusion of african music (influenced by her Algerian homeland), jazz and folk is electrifying, melodic and memorable, and already earnt her an appearance on the prestigious Later With Jools Holland show.
