Description:
The last album and posthumous work of Algerian protest singer/poet Renece Matoub! This album was an appeal for Kabyle identity in song and narrative against the government that was promoting the Arabization of the whole land. He was assassinated before the release date (July 5, 1998)... Renès Matoub, a protest singer who continued to appeal for the identity of the Kabyle people living in Algeria, was assassinated in June 1998, and this was the last recording he left behind. This album is a song and a narrative of his strong protest against the Algerian government, which at that time had a slogan of "Arabization of the whole country". It is speculated that the provocative message of this album was one of the reasons why he was assassinated before the release date in his home country (July 5, 1998). Includes a bilingual translation of his magnum opus, "Open Letter.
