Bachir Attar is the leader of Master Musicians of Jajouka, who sometimes record under the name Master Musicians of Jajouka featuring Bachir Attar. His father, Hadj Abdesalam Attar, recorded groundbreaking albums with Brian Jones and Joel Rubiner released in 1971 and 1972, respectively. Bachir Attar carries on his group's Attar family traditions with a new generation of "master musicians" descemded from members of his father's group.

He has recorded a couple of solo albums in addition to his work with Master Musicians of Jajouka. Attar was a guest performer on Nicky Skopelitis's 1993 album, Ekstasis. His manager and official photographer during his group's 1990s recording career was his wife, Cherie Nutting, whom he had married in 1989. The two parted in 1996, but she was managing him and his band again by the end of 2006.
