Early life


Bouchikhi was born in Arles to a Moroccan father and an Algerian mother. He was married to Marthe Reyes, the daughter of José Reyes, the father of the Reyes sons, members of the group Gipsy Kings.


Personal life


His brother, Ahmed Bouchiki, was assassinated by Mossad agents in the Norwegian town of Lillehammer in July 1973 in the Lillehammer affair. Bouchikhi, a waiter, had been mistaken for Ali Hassan Salameh.[2]

He is also UNESCO's special envoy for peace,[3] and has held a major concert in Israel with his band.[clarification needed] He has also played before Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat during the Oslo Accords peace negotiations.[2]

In 2014 Bouchikhi visited Israel. When asked in an interview with The Independent about his decision to refuse to participate in a boycott of the country, he insisted that reconciliation was more important than holding grudges.[4]
