Madjid Fahem is a French guitarist born in Paris in 1973.[1] He is member of Manu Chao band from 2000.[2]

He was born in the suburbs of Paris, of Algerian parents.[3] At age 16, he took an old acoustic guitar from his father and started playing with his uncles.[3] From there he did not separate from that instrument again.[3] His musical role models include Django Reinhardt and Paco de Lucía, while Dire Straits and Eric Clapton influenced him in the early stages of his musical development.[2]

Fahem initially played with various local bands and then joined the formation "La Kinky Beat", until he joined in 2000 as a guitarist founded by Manu Chao band Radio Bemba.[4]

He joined several local groups before joining the group Radio Bemba in 2000,[1] which accompanies singer-songwriter Manu Chao.[4]

He is known for his "fire solos", including the live version of "Clandestino".[1] Play a Gibson SG for electric tracks, or a classical guitar for songs that sound rumba or traditional.[1]

Finally, Madjid was involved in the development of Manu Chao's latest album, La Radiolina of 2007.[5][6] In addition to Chao, Fahem has collaborated in more than fifteen recordings of different artists.[7]

Manu Chao appreciates the collaboration with Fahem very much, in an interview he describes Fahem exuberantly as "a monster, one of the best guitarists in the world".[8]
