biography
Boniche took early lessons from Saoud l'Oranais, an interpreter of classical Arabic-Andalusian music. Afterwards Boniche attended the music schools Moutribia and al-Moussilia .
At the age of 15, he received an offer from the director of Radio Alger to do a program on the Hawzi .
Lili Boniche is regarded as a modernizer of classical Arabic music: he mixed the cabarets orientaux with western rhythms, jazz and Latin American sounds. Boniche's songs were so popular that they were also used in French feature films such as Le Grand pardon or La Vérité si je mens .
