"A Vava Inouva" (originally "A Baba-inu Ba" alternatively A baba inuba meaning My father to me) is the title of the debut single of Idir, the Algerian singer of Kabyle music. It is found on the 1976 Idir album of the same name, also his debut studio album.
"A Vava Inouva" is a lullaby composed by Idir and Ben Mohamed (real name Mohamed Benhamadouche) and was written for Nouara, a singer on "Radio Algiers". However upon non acceptance by the latter, Idir decided to interpret the song himself accompanied by the singer Mila.
The lullaby song was an immediate success, making it arguably the best known song in the Kabyle language internationally and a great commercial success.
Idir recorded a second version in 1999 with Karen Matheson, a singer with a great repertoire of Gaelic songs. The new duo version appears in Idir's album Identités.
Versions[edit]
"A Vava Inouva" has been translated into several languages including Arabic, Spanish, French, Greek and others.
David Jisse and Dominique Marge released as a duo the French version "Ouvre-moi vite la porte". Katevas released a Greek version as "An ginotane" (in Greek Αν γινότανε) featuring Efi Strati.[1]
