This Friday, November 8, 2024, Faudel, whose real name is Faudel Belloua, made a notable appearance in video on social networks. The one we nicknamed the Prince of Raï was unrecognizable.
The famous raï singer, Faudel, recently celebrated his 46th birthday. Although he has moved away from the French music scene, the Prince of Raï continues to maintain a special bond with his fans and to be present on social networks, particularly on Instagram where he is followed by more than a million of people. This Sunday, November 10, he made his return to Paris, during an evening organized by the La Kasba collective at YOYO, located at the Palais de Tokyo.
“Get ready for a unique event that combines electronic music and performances by artists with oriental influences, in a setting transformed for the occasion. For this edition, the emblematic raï star will perform his greatest hits”had written the organizers of the evening before the big day in a video posted on their Instagram profile, cited by Gala.
“He wouldn’t have said his name, I would never have guessed”
In this same publication, we can also see the Franco-Algerian-Moroccan singer displaying a style very different from the one his fans knew twenty years ago. With his new haircut, layered on the sides with strands styled upwards, the singer appeared in good shape and retained his legendary smile as well as his good humor. “He wouldn’t have said his name, I would never have guessed”declares a user under the video. Another subscriber is surprised: “I swear it’s Faudel?”.
“Hello, it’s Faudel. Sunday 10th, La Kasba evening at YOYO at the Palais de Tokyo. Come along, I’m revisiting all my raï classics. It’s going to be a great evening”he told Internet users. A video that attracted the curious, since the video was viewed more than 268,000 times and generated nearly 800 likes.
