Othmane Bali, real name Mbarek Athmany,[1] (May 1953 – June 2005) was an Algerian Tuareg singer. Bali died in an accident in his car after the flooding of a river in his native region of Djanet.[2] Bali issued his first album in 1986,[3] and afterward worked on promoting Tuareg music in the Tamahaq language. Bali worked with world-famous singers such as Steve Shehan. After his death, his son Nabil Bali continued his legacy and took the same path as his father.
