Biography
Cheb I Sabbah (formerly known as DJ Cheb I Sabbah) grew up as Haim Sérge El Baaz, a Jew of Berber (Amazigh) descent in Constantine, Algeria. He moved to Paris in the 1960s, and, more or less by accident, became a DJ. His complex cultural background may have prompted him to mix musical styles. By the late 1980s, he was pushing boundaries on the dance floor, seeking ways to work African, Asian, and Arabic music into the mix. Then, as the world music movement unfolded, Cheb i Sabbah began recording traditional and classical musicians himself and used those tracks to create new works — effectively, music composed by a DJ.
Having completed four recordings, Sabbah recently returned to his native North Africa to gather the raw material for his most ambitious project to date, La Kahena, a set of eight pieces created from music by eight different acts, all featuring women singers.
He has been nominated recently by the BBC for the Awards for World Music 2006 in the “Club Global” category.

Go to : "other spellings" and suggest it to: Cheb i Sabbah

zaynit
Such requests are sometimes aimed at the original uploaders, not at humble users like us :-) It also seems daft to change tags if the original was made under the old name. Should I change my 'Prince' tags to 'TAFKAP' and then back again, just because he has been changing his name? Can't be bothered :-)

My tags are updated and it's still scrobbling as DJ.... what gives?

@Tannyz "Cheb i Sabbah dropped the “DJ” from his professional name in 2005. Please update your tags!!!" Agreed! Is there not an option to request such changes?
