Dahmane El Harrachi edit

There should be something here about Dahmane El Harrachi. That Wikipedia article and Diwân say it was originally his song. Unfortunately El Harrachi's article is in French only... 75.135.82.119 05:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Amel Bouchoucha edit

Amel's version is very electronic, has no African dance beats nor berbere sounds and in no manner is it closer to the original than any other cover. I suggest dropping this line entirely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.203.68.10 (talk) 21:10, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Unclear sentence edit

"Up until the past 15 years this song was known to be Dahman El Harrachi's original song and in the Chaâbi/Andalous tradition of Algiers." - The sentence implies that some new revelation occurred 15 years ago that he wasn't the songwriter, yet doesn't give any reference to that revelation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.226.192.202 (talk) 10:19, 23 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Romani origin of tune? edit

came across this and wondering if it predates the Algierian versions? There's no dating in the video info
