Enrico Macias (born Gaston Ghrenassia December 11, 1938) is an Algerian-born French Jewish singer.
He was born in Constantine, Algeria and played the guitar since childhood. His father was a violinist in an orchestra that played primarily maalouf, Andalo-Arabic music. Gaston started playing with the orchestra at 15, and soon replaced the bandleader, Cheick Raymond.
He pursued a career as a school teacher, but continued practicing the guitar. In 1961, Cheick Raymond was killed, and the situation became untenable for the Jewish residents of Constantine. Gaston (Macias) went into "exile" in France with his wife, Suzy, the daughter of Cheick Raymond.
Arriving in Paris, he decided to pursue a career in music. At first, he tried translating the maalouf numbers that he already knew into French. This was not very successful, and he developed a new French repertoire that he performed in cafés and cabarets.
He made his first recording in 1962 titled "Adieu mon pays," which he had composed on the boat to France. He appeared on French television and became an overnight sen

Enrico Macias is a French singer, musician and composer born in Constantine in Algeria, the 11th of December 1938. His real name is Gaston Ghrenassia, and he is the son of Sylvain and Suzanne Zaouch, a Jewish family of malouf musicians.
In parallel to a normal education, he also played a lot of music, and in particular guitar.
At first a teacher in 1956, he joined Cheikh Raymond Leyris’s orchestra, the great master of malouf music in which his father played the violin.
The death of Cheikh Raymond, killed in June 1961, led him to leave Algeria with his wife Suzy (Cheikh Raymond’s daughter). It’s on the “Ville d’Alger”’, name of the ship that brought them to France, that he wrote with his guitar the song «J’ai quitté mon pays, j’ai quitté ma maison » (I left my country, I left my home). He settled with his family in Argenteuil.
In Paris, Enrico worked irregularly, with small jobs and performed in cabarets, until he became noticed, and performed the first part of a concert of Gilbert Bécaud.
Among the several lyricists who wrote the songs of Macias’ repertoire, Jac
