Les Boukakes is made up of 7 musicians: Bachir, the voice of the band;
Corsican guitarist, Thierry; Steph' on keyboards, known as the Occitan;
Bubulle, a bass player from the north; Imed, a Tunisian darbuka player; and
Pascal, drummer from the south. The whole sound system is supervised by the
Italian technician of the team, Massimo. Exile gave birth to the ?boukake.? Their name itself is a reply to some of the less than friendly comments they received in their time on the streets. ?Boukake? being a phonetic mixture of two typical racist insults. But for them, that did not have anything degrading, because the ?Boukake? was born during the long trip of exile, a rich child of the World and its prohibited loves. Without making ostensible political comments in their songs this deliberate attitude says something for their resistance to bias and ignorance generally. After having mixed their origins together, they left to play music on stage - 300 concerts through France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Romany, Sweden etc..- had an aperitif and went to record the album of their dreams Makach Mouch' kil (no problem). The lyrics are mixed with Middle Eastern melodies, rock, groove, electronica, Rai, Gnawa and Arab-Andalusian. In 2004 the group won many prizes (FAIR, D?couvertes Printemps de Bourges, Strictly Mundial..). To celebrate it in the best way, they released a new album, Bledi.
