[edit]

I visited this page to learn about Matoub but didn't find as much information as I'd hoped for. I've tried to expand the content by including information from any online sources I could find in English. Many of these sites do not cite their sources so I'd be grateful to anyone who has time to double-check the facts.

Unfortunately, the new version of the page still gives a patchy impression of Lounes Matoub and his legacy. Perhaps someone who knows more about him and has access to different resources (i.e. books, journal/newspaper articles) can improve the page further. I'd be interested to know more about -

  • the kinds of views he expressed in his lyrics - the page lists many themes but does not go in to detail
  • how the influential songs impacted Algerian society e.g. Allahu Akbar, national anthem parody
  • his qualities as performer - the tone of his voice, emotional impact of his concerts etc
  • the different points of view on Matoub's actions both within Kabylie and in Algeria in general - e.g. how broad is the support for Matoub's militant stance? Did the Islamists hate Matoub in particular or was he one of many artists targeted?
  • the controversary that surrounded his release by the Islamists - some sources report claims that the episode was a publicity stunt
  • how the man differed from the legend.

Thanks to people who started the page.
