He has also dedicated two works to the visual artists Rachid Koraïchi and Denis Martinez, and a third to the singer Houria Aïchi. He finally co-signed Matoub Lounès, my brother, in collaboration with Malika Matoub. An attentive chronicler of Algerian society and an informed observer of cultural life, he is finally the author of numerous texts and articles.
