Biography
Biography
Fahem initially played with various local bands before joining the band La Kinky Beat. He joined Manu Chao’s backing band Radio Bemba Sound System in 2000, participating in the recording of Chao's second solo album Clandestino. He is known for his soloing skills, including a live version of "Clandestino". He plays a Gibson SG for electric tracks, and a classical guitar for songs that sound rumba or traditional. Fahem was involved in the development of Manu Chao's latest album, La Radiolina, in 2007. In addition to Chao, Fahem has collaborated with over 15 other artists on various recordings. Manu Chao admires Fahem's work, describing Fahem in an interview "a monster, one of the best guitarists in the world".
