Here's another viola driven Middle Atlas Amazigh album for ya. Said Akchmir is a viola player and singer, I believe from Khenifra. I don't know who is the female singer on this tape, but her opening autotuned solo vocal passage blew my socks off. I also love the syncopated pattern the bendir is holding down.
As with Ouaboud Mohamed, whose tape was featured here last week, Said Akchmir appears to use studio synth instruments in his albums, but not in live performances. Here is a video clip of him, doing the live thing with the typical ensemble of several bendirs and male singers, one viola, and a female singer (plus a quartet of dancing ladies):
Izlanzik has a few of Said Akchmir's albums: https://www.izlanzik.org/sgr/said-akchmir_178.htm. And it looks like he created a YouTube channel this past summer: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzTxbWTAQGkfAOZBRyWCebA/videos
