About — The artist
Idir (in Kabyle: Yidir), stage name of El-Hamid Cheriet (in Kabyle: Ḥamid Ceryat, in Tifinagh: ⵃⴰⵎⵉⴷ ⵛⴻⵔⵢⴰⵜ), born on 25 October 1945 in Ath Yenni, Algeria (Greater Kabylia) and died on 2 May 2020 in Paris 18e (France), was an Algerian singer, songwriter, and musician who sang in Kabyle.
Idir was not originally destined for a career in music. However, one of his first songs, A Vava Inouva, quickly became a global hit in the 1970s, the first major hit to come directly from Algeria. His career was marked by a sudden emergence into the spotlight, followed by a voluntary hiatus of about ten years starting in 1981.
Idir's discography comprises a total of eleven studio albums; his work contributed to the renewal of Berber music and brought international recognition to Berber culture.
