Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on January 24, 1956)

Happy birthday to the legendary Lounes Matoub! Your fearless poetry and unapologetic voice have made you an eternal symbol of resistance, human rights, and—let's admit it—the master of stirring up trouble with style. Who else could turn a song into both artful rebellion and timeless humor?

From your daring verses in "Allahu Akbar" that shook foundations (and probably gave some folks sleepless nights), you've shown us all how powerful words can be when wielded bravely—and mischievously. Today we celebrate not just another year but every moment you've inspired courage, laughter, defiance…and perhaps even a riot or two along the way!
