Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Singer-songwriter-guitarist Souad Massi is unique in both her background and what she has done with it. An Algerian of Kabyle descent, she began her career with an Algerian rock band, but left the country after a series of death threats. Her music draws on country and western, fado, and Parisian caf styles: her voice has that "covered" Arabic quality, and it oozes husky charm, but it's not tremendously versatile. This live album's real strength lies in the melodies, and in the beguiling accompaniment she gives them on a variety of string instruments, from the oud to the Spanish and Portuguese guitars.
