Hamid Baroudi grew up with music in his home country, Algeria, and aged 13, he made his stage debut. Music is far more than just entertainment in Algeria. Music can be hope against oppression, shared solidarity, spirituality, medicine, trance.

Music also accompanied Baroudi to France, but after a prolonged stay, he moved on and finally settled in Germany to study art in Kassel, home of the Dokumenta Fair. Next came six exciting years as the lead vocalist of the band Dissidenten, an important calling point in his musical career.

Following the worldwide tours and four joint albums, Hamid Baroudi left "Die Dissidenten", with whom he was a pathfinder of global pop, to pursue his solo career. He worked on CityNoMad for two years. A pop album. Full stop. A political album. Another important point. Grooves lie at the heart of CityNoMad, the Maghreb's rhythms amalgamated with Anglo-American rock.
