Lounis Ait Menguellet has returned to artistic galas in Algeria following a long period of absence due mainly to the covid-19 health crisis.
The Kabyle singer-poet has started a tour from the Atlantis hotel in Akbou, in the wilaya of Bejaia, which will take him to Tizi-Ouzou, Algiers and Oran. Seven galas are on the program.
On April 14 and 15, Aït Menguellet performed at the Atlantis hall in Akbou and he will be on Saturday April 16 at the Atlas hall in Bab El Oued (Algiers), on the 18th at the Algiers Opera, on the 21st at Le Maghreb hall in Oran and on 25 and 26 April at the Marena Soccer complex in Tizi-Ouzou.
The singer also gives an appointment to his public next June in Montreal (Canada) and in Le Mans and Paris (France).
“Kabylia must be united with all of Algeria”
Thursday evening in Akbou, many of his fans came to listen to him at the Atlantis room in Akbou. “ I think everyone will have the same impression. It’s an impression of returning following an absence that has a somewhat bizarre justification. But the main thing is to make the return “, He said at the microphone of Berber Television.
Lounis Ait Menguellet was moved to see his audience, women and men, young and old, always there. ” When you give your all it’s never in vain and God knows that I gave it your all for 50 years. To see such a result, it can only warm the heart “, he congratulates himself.
In his statement to Berber Television, the poet did not fail to raise the issue of Kabylie and national unity, expressing a clear opinion. ” Kabylia must be united with all of Algeria. Those who died for this country did not die only for Kabylie, they died for their country which is Algeria “recalls Lounis Aït Menguellet.
