Algeria

In 1985, the legendary Algerian group Raïna Raï disbanded. Lotfi Attar, guitarist and founder of Raïna Raï created with his wife Hamida, the group Amarna, for which he composes the music, she will be the lyricist. The texts created by Hamida Attar for Amarna were inspired by lyric poetry and Djilali Amarna singer of the group.

Amarna published four albums: "Chouli" (1986) "Saf" (1986), "Waïle" (1987) and "El Ghaba" (1989).

Hachemi Djellouli, returned from France, joins Amarna. For a while, they composed under the name of Lotfi and Hachemi. Amarna will be very successful and during the dark decade (1991-2002) in Algeria, Lotfi and his group will take enormous risks by going on stage all over Algeria.

The same year, Lotfi Attar formed the "New Amarnas" troupe. The group was made up of young artists, but was unable to establish itself on the front of the stage.
