Lounès Matoub (Berber Latin: Lwennas Meɛṭub, Tifinagh: often credited as Matoub Lounès in French sources) (January 24, 1956 – June 25, 1998) was a famous Kabyle singer who was a prominent advocate of the Berber cause and secularism in Algeria throughout his life.
He is revered as a hero and martyr in Kabylie but reviled by most of the Arab population in Algeria for his irreligion [1] and blasphemous songs (like Allahu Akbar) and his militant advocacy of Berber rights
