Rachid Bozarhoun, a French-Moroccan artist, has made a significant transition from a career in rap music to becoming a published author. His work consistently engages with themes of identity, memory, and social critique.
As a rapper, he was part of the group La Bande Passante. He has since authored several books, including the novel "Le mauvais Εil" published by Le Tripode in 2023, which explores family secrets and historical trauma within a Moroccan context.
His writing and previous musical work are noted for addressing political silence and the complexities of Franco-MaghrΓ©bin heritage. Bozarhoun's shift to literature is seen as a continuation of his artistic commitment to giving voice to marginalized narratives and challenging societal norms.
