kabyle de frikat represente tizi

Wednesday 24 June 1998. He is 15h and Matoub Lounès just parked his car near the intersection of 20 April, which no longer exists. Matoub loves the city of Tizi Ouzou. He went there every day. Before alighting from the vehicle, we have been discussing for a few minutes. We address several issues. As usual, the point that we notice most in our party, is his sincerity. He is one of the few men in our knowledge which recognizes no complex mistakes. But at the same time, it is also one of the few who defended with courage and determination his convictions and principles. And when we ask why it often changes the view (especially its sympathies towards kabyles parties), he replied that only fools who do not.
We are still in the vehicle. The friend who accompanied me him a photo and asked him to sign an autograph. Matoub but there are signs in his eyes something like the sadness. His gaze strangely akin to a farewell. At this moment, we have not really noticed the change in the behavior of Matoub. Usually it is volutible and brimming with humor. Since this morning, he is taciturn. We believe that this is linked to the anxiety that takes on the eve of the release of each new album. Indeed, each year, he produced two albums. But he regularly brings profound innovations in terms of composition. He always takes the risk. He is afraid that her fans, all kabyles have difficulty adopting its style, inspired in recent years chaâbi.
We had already expressed apprehension that the album "On behalf of all mine" in 1997. His fears were of course useless. The reception given to his albums was triumphant all the time. His tapes are at the scene within six months after their release. Which created serious problems in the field of publishing of the song kabyle. Other artists in the same language should learn well from the date of departure from the novelty of Matoub to avoid simultaneity inevitably stifle theirs.
For the anecdote, Hacène Ähre, an artist closely Matoub, was preparing to publish his new album when we gave in a newspaper where we worked at the time, information of the imminent release of two new products Matoub. This info was delivered prematurely for the sake of rule. But Hacène Ähre who had read was panicked. At the time, we did not know Hacène. It Matoub we reported the reaction of Hacène Ähre. That day, Matoub had laughed a lot. He loved Hacène Ähre.
We are still in the car. We had a long interview about his new products. But the object of our trip home that day to Tawrirt Moussa, was only to listen to 11 songs, we did not carry our voice. It was agree to another appointment. Since Lounès down every day in Tizi Ouzou, we suggérâmes to see us tomorrow (Thursday). After a brief moment of reflection, Matoub remembered that he would go to Bouzeguène at her in-laws, to recover his two step-sisters. They had promised to pay them lunch. We could not therefore see the Thursday, we opted for two days Friday. We agreed to see us at 11 am at the Blue Building. We did most reviewed

l must say that since his last marriage, Matoub gives more importance to his inner life. He seemed very happy since he had Nadia, as evidenced by one of the new songs entitled shissif Ur ara. But at the same time, Lounès could not abandon its fight for tamazight and modernity. When we accédâmes within the show, the song Ayen Ayen fuse from a distance. Matoub stops to get the coil to zero. It evokes the masters of song who envoûtent. He cites Slimane Azem. He gets up, goes to the library and take a large art book. It opens and shows a color photo, occupying half the page and asks if we recognize who they are. Slimane Azem was. Matoub devoted a great respect for this artist that he paid a tribute in its first tape. In 1983, death of Slimane Azem, he composed a song long in his memory. Matoub also loved and El Anka Cheikh El Hasnaoui. It has taken many music he has interpreted with genius, like the famous song of El Anka, Izriw.
A year ago, at Le Concorde, we Matoub had indicated its intention to resume the music of the national anthem. Hard to believe. It took us that we listen to that fulfilled Matoub was capable of the greatest challenges. He did. When we destroyed part of the risk of such a challenge, his answer was simple: "I do not care."
Also in the living room of his house, Matoub seeks another book in his library. These Memories of Danielle Mitterand, wife of the illustrious President. The singer skim the book before stopping on the last page we read the passage where the author speaks of the Award memory Lounes Matoub. Since our arrival home, Matoub is silent. When he decides to pass the eleven new songs, he says nothing. At the end of each song, he made a short comment. Often say that the song that followed was more beautiful.
What is confirmed. In fact, there was not a song more beautiful than another. They were all beautiful. Matoub was sure of it. It consisted not only a song without it being really inspired. This explains why the majority of his work is autobiographical. It had all the ingredients that should make him the best singer kabyle: voice, poetry, music and interpretation. Her courage would help make him the champion of the song begun. Algerian singer never went as far as Matoub. As in the days of single party, but especially during the dark period of Islamist terrorism. Matoub said out loud what many thought to themselves, in solitude and fear. Despite its excesses, was a man Matoub outstanding. In addition to his political opponents, any board, it faced an enemy far more formidable: jealousy. Starting with that of his fellow artists who were struggling to understand the phenomenon Matoub.
The latter, despite media censorship before 1988 (it is spent on television or radio before kabyle 1988), became the best. At his death, the Kabyle song would become an orphan. Until now, the vacuum is not filled and it Matoub artist who remains the most listened kabyle. Why? Difficult to give a single answer to this question. The phenomenon has prompted Matoub Farida Ziane, a University of Canada, to book his magisterial thesis in sociology at Lounès. She met dozens of his knowledge to try to elucidate this mystery. The question that should have the most in this research was: "Why specially Matoub". Yet the answer is simple. Because it is simply the best

Kabylia, the mountainous north-east of Algeria, near the Mediterranean, east of Algiers and the Mitidja. During the Algerian War (1954-1962), Kabylia was the focus of numerous guerrilla operations because of its steep and the vegetation that covers it.

Great Kabylie, which is the main city Tizi Ouzou, overlooks the Mediterranean and peaks at 2 308 m-Lalla Khadidja. It is bounded on the south by the imposing massif of Djurdjura which dominates the valley of the Soumam, a river which separates it from the Petite Kabylie and flows into the Mediterranean near the port of Beija (Bougie). Petite Kabylie, dominated by Jebel Babor, is lower, more open to the sea and the Gulf of Beija and highlighted a superb cornice. La Grande Kabylie is the most populated region with a high population density. The Kabyles cultivate the olive and the fig, barley and durum wheat, and operate a small family breeding. They are Berber. By their geographical position, they found themselves on the road and conquerors have always resisted fiercely, if only by their language. In our time, claiming they use in teaching and the media. Country of immigration to big cities and France, Kabylia has strong social structures that enable men to leave a long time, knowing that the traditional family will support his family remained in the country. The development of solidarity among community members is the basis of social organization.
