Abdelkader Bouhi ( Kabyle Σbeqqader Buhi , tifinagh : ⵄⴱⴻⴽⴽⴰⴷⴻⵔ ⴱⵓⵃⵉ); (* May 8, 1957 , † June 22, 2014 in Bgayet - Bejaia ) - was a Kabyle musician, lyricist and singer from Bgayet (also called Bejaia or Bougie ), in Algeria .

Career

Abdelkader's career as a musician, lyricist and interpreter ran in two phases: duet phase and solo career, whereby the first was short but enriching experience, and in any case is to be regarded as a pioneer of the second.

Beginnings of duets

The artist's professional career began with the release of his first album in 1983 ?. The album, which was called Athmathen , was created in cooperation with his brother-in-law Said. The duet was also called: "Athmathen" , which in Kabyle means something like "The Brothers". The cooperation took place on both a financial and a musical level. While Abdelkader struggled to make a living as an occasional electrician between two musical compositions, Said made a pretty good living as a record dealer. In addition to an outpatient sales booth, he owned a kind of kiosk for sales of sound carriers in Bgayet , Lexmis , Afrag n Ifri - the so-called Saḥet Ifri in the 80s and 90s of the last century. The album was the first and last to be created through the duet's collaboration. It was recorded and produced at Sadaoui Phone , a recording studio of the artist Salah Sadaoui , in Paris. In France, the album was marketed under Gouraya Music , a marketing label of the production label Sadaoui Phone . Said, on the other hand, did the marketing in Algeria alone. After this experience, Said has not published any more according to the latest findings.

Solo career

Except for the experience with his brother-in-law, which did not go well - According to Abdelkader's comments: “ The experience did not go well! ", Abdelkader struck a solo musical career under his real name" Abdelkader Bouhi "after he gave up the artistic name" Athmathen ". About ten other albums followed, in which he wrote both the music and the lyrics. Among his most famous songs, listed chronologically, are Abeḥri n Ccetwa: [the cold winter wind] , Ɛamayen ar ad εeddin: [The dreary 2 year old military service] , Dduklent-iyi is tlata: [Sex, drugs, alcohol ...] , Anda lla- țț: [where is my beloved]? , Bgayet a tamurt-iw: [Bgayet: my pearl, my home] , among others.

Like all Kabyle artists in the 1970s and early 1980s, when it was not easy to express oneself artistically in Kabyle or to mention Kabyle culture, A. Bouhi was a politically active artist. He sang about the forbidden culture, the daily social problems of his society, love, women, grass and wine. He succumbed to a long illness in 2014 at the age of 58. He was married and had five children.
