Cabaret Sauvage
“I want to give lessons to young people. I’ve suffered, I’ve cried, I’ve learned to defend myself and that’s why I’ve modernized my style.”
Cheikha Rimitti about her album N’ta Goudami in an interview with 20 Minutes (2005)

Illiterate since childhood, she never puts her creations on paper. So much so that young artists take advantage to plunder his repertoire like Khaled and his cover of La Camel. When on December 2, 2005, she presented her album N’ta Goudami live at the Cabaret sauvage, she took the opportunity to silence the voices claiming that she was outdated by using more modern instruments. One of the many proofs of the genius of this unique artist, whose voice has profoundly marked a genre that she helped shape.
Cheikha Rimitti has composed more than 200 songs, without ever writing a single line on paper.
