الشاب انور
(Cheb Anouar)
Anouar Boublenza, known as Cheb Anouar, was born in Oran, Algeria, on October
26, 1974. Attracted to music at an early age, he was spotted by singers and
producers Rachid and Fethi, who were among the precursors of modern music in
Algeria and, above all, among the most popular artists of the 1970s and 1980s.
Rachid and Fethi ran the Rallye label in Tlemcen, in the north-west of the
country, and immediately offered a contract to the very young Cheb Anouar, only
11 years old at the time. Cheb Anouar launched his raï career with songs such as
"Nekri Berrah", which was an instant hit...
