The first compilation of tracks by the Algerian vocalist Mohamed Mazouni, who attracted people in Algeria as well as in France.

He sings popular tunes in classical or dialectal Arabic as much as in French, English and Kabyle.

Double LP with printed inner sleeves, liner notes both in French and English by Rabah Mezaouane (from Arab World Institute) and a download code.

Born 1940 in Blida/Algiera, Mazouni moved to France in 1969 where he was about to become an idolized star within the immigrant community.

Between 1970 and 1990, he had a series of hits such bearing such titles as "Miniskirt", "Darling Lady", "20 years in France", "Faded Blue", Clichy, Daag Dagui, "Comrade", "Tell me it's not true" or "I'm the Chaoui" "I sang for people who, like me, experienced exile.

I was and have always remained very attached to my country, Algeria. To me, it's not about people from Constantine, Oran or Algiers, it's just about Algerians." Since a controversial return to his homeland in 1991, Mohamed Mazouni has never stopped writing and composing dedicated songs, social, moral, for children and celebrations, completing an artistic repertoire sealed with a scent and stamp of love for Algeria.
