Biography

Granci presents him as a poet and teacher who writes for “Amun Style” bands: freed from the old metrical constraints, these poets keep the model of the “asfru”, the short committed poem. In 1994 he spent a year in prison for demonstrating with banners written in Tifinagh.

Six of the songs on Imenza's first album (2006) are his (Morocco World News), and Nba sings “Ulac smah ulac”, in support of political prisoners, to one of his texts (Granci).
