In 2003 Youness El Guezouli was the winner in the first series of Casting Star, Morocco’s answer to X Factor. He has just released his debut album Safar which seductively showcases this dishy 27 year old’s pure voice. The songs range from Moroccan chaabi (‘Bledi, Bledi’) and Algerian raï (‘Menti’) to Andalusian grooves (‘Allah Yatik Basbar’), pop stylings (‘Pamela’), gnawa-infused beats (‘Salama’) and honeyed ballads (‘Mani Nassik’). He won the talent show with his rendition of a Cheb Mami classic, and is often compared with him. With his eye on the pop charts in the Arab world and beyond, Youness has all the makings of becoming the new voice of raï.
