◇ image via WikipediaIdir
Idir is a Folk and World music act. Their sound grew out of Zaho and Kenza Farah. Those roots explain a lot about how Idir arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Cheb Mami, Khaled, Souad Massi, Cheb Hasni and Cesária Évora, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Grand Corps Malade, Manu Chao, Maxime Le Forestier, Gnawa Diffusion and Zebda, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 19 connections around Idir, reaching back through Zaho and forward to Grand Corps Malade.
