Amazigh Kateb is a celebrated Algerian musician, widely recognized for his role as the charismatic leader and vocalist of the band Gnawa Diffusion. Born into an artistically and intellectually rich family—his father being the renowned Algerian writer Kateb Yacine—Amazigh has carved out his own path in the world of music by blending traditional gnawa rhythms with a variety of other genres, such as rock, reggae, and hip-hop, creating a sound that is both unique and resonant with sociopolitical commentary. His music often reflects his commitment to social justice and his fervent advocacy for the Amazigh (Berber) culture, which includes a large population in North Africa whose language and traditions have been marginalized for decades.

In his solo career, Amazigh Kateb continues to push musical boundaries and promote cultural inclusivity. His performances are known for their intense energy and his ability to connect deeply with his audience. His recent contributions to "Coke Studio Algérie" with songs like "Lefhama," "Ya El Menfi," and "Damaa," show him continuing to experiment with blending traditional sounds from his heritage with modern musical elements. These releases underscore his ongoing relevance in the Algerian music scene and his dedication to using music as a vehicle for social change and cultural expression.
