Abid Tounssi, also known as Salah Edin is a Dutch rapper. He was born and raised in Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands. He lived in Morocco for about 2 years. After a brief career in English, Salah began recording in Darija Arabic.In the first edition of the film Fitna, and subsequently removed from the second release, when referring to the murder of Theo van Gogh, instead of the murderer's face (Mohammed Bouyeri), a picture of Edin is displayed. The picture was shot for the rapper's album Nederlands Grootste Nachtmerrie (Netherlands' Worst Nightmare), which, according to the singer's website, was shot to be "exactly like the mugshot of convicted killer Mohamed B". A 2007 article by Dutch newspaper De Dag had captioned an article about the killer with the shot. On that occasion, Salah Edin's received an out-of-court libel settlement for the publication. The photo was said by the rapper to be intended to depict "the way the average white Dutch citizen sees me, as a young Moroccan Muslim radical. That's why I chose to do this picture and use it for the front cover of my album. It is in no way supporting the deeds of Mohamed B". Edin has accepted a settlement of 25,000 euros for the infringement. WIKIPEDIA

EL KHANSA
EL KHANSA a été la première découverte de Maurice Elbaz au Maroc.En 1999 le marché musical marocain été sclérosé et les productions musicales de très mauvaises qualités techniques et artistiques.La volonté de Maurice Elbaz en implantant la FTG records au Maroc était de faire changer les choses et permettre a tous les talents potentiels du pays de pouvoir de nouveau s'exprimer dans un cadre technique et artistique aux standards internationaux.EL KHANSAA représentant le profil idéale pour construire une nouvelle scène musicale au Maroc.Fille d'artistes renommés, sont père feu Mohamed Batma était un des paroliers et compositeur les plus novateurs au Maroc des années 70 et 80.Avec ses groupes LEMCHAEB, et MESSNAOUA il a sans cesse réussi l'exploit de faire sonner des textes en dialecte local marocain (Darija) avec une musique et un chant résolument modernes.Mort en 2001, l'histoire n'as pas encore redonné la place qu'il mérite a Sy MOHAMED BATMA, mais l'extraordinaire travail de réinterpretation de ses chansons par ses enfants Tarik et Khansaa donne une idée claire du potentiel innexploité de ses chansons.EL KHANSA est chanteuse interprete, mais aussi parolière et compositrice de talent.n plus de ses dons musicaux dévloppées par MAURICE ELBAZ au sein de la FTG, elle mène en parallèle une carrière de mannequin, d'animatrice télévision et d‘actrice.Douée aussi d'un fabuleux don pour le dessin et la peinture, EL KHANSAA est une artiste complète, multi disciplinaire à l'image des plus grands.Après avoir enregistré plus de 30 titres avec Maurice Elbaz à la FTG records, elle a dù s'exiler comme de nombreux artistes pour continuer sa carrière.Nul doute que comme son homonyme la poétesse El KHANSAA, la descendante des BATMA, marquera son epoque. http://www.symehdi.com/
