A favourite song:

My favourite song is called 'Inchalah' and it's about emigration. Originally it was a letter to my mother. It's about love and homesickness, and about how difficult it is to live in this world full of trouble, violence and killing. In Islam we say 'Inchalah' - God's will - and at the end of the song I hope, Inchalah, that everything is going to be normal again. I hope there's going to be peace in Palestine and peace in Algeria and I hope God will look after us.
