Boudjemaâ El Ankis
Boudjemaâ El Ankis (born Casbah of Algiers, 17 June 1927 – died Algiers, 2 September 2015), also known as Mohammed Boudjemaâ, was an Algerian performer of chaâbi music, who also played the mondol.[1][2]
He was known in Algeria for his more than 300 songs and for being imprisoned by the French from 1957-1960, for his protest of their occupation of Algeria.[3]
He became a "pioneer" of Algerian music while working with lyricist Mahbou Bati and inspired a new generation of chaabi musicians.[2]
