Journey

Younes Bahri, born in Algeria, is a revered composer and multi-instrumentalist, whose work has significantly shaped the country's audiovisual landscape. From 2011’s 'Crayons de Couleur,' his scores have enriched Algerian cinema and television through a blend of classical orchestration and indigenous musical styles. Bahri's compositions exhibit thematic clarity and emotional precision, traits that earned 'Thaman el Houria' (2024) accolades as Algeria’s first historic live musical. A proficient pianist, oud player, and expert on world flutes, Bahri’s roots in Andalusian music permeate his work, allowing him to craft scores that resonate with cultural authenticity. His collaborations span the Algerian National Opera, the National Symphony Orchestra, and award-winning directors. Notable credits include heralded productions such as 'Lotfi,' 'Coeur sous la cendre,' and 'Commissaire Llob.' Beyond composition, Bahri plays a vital role in orchestral arrangements and stage productions, underlining his influence and commitment to Algerian arts. As a voting member of the World Soundtrack Academy and an affiliate of SCL, Ivors Academy, and ASMAC, Bahri continues to contribute richly to the global music community.
