Bouteldja Belkacem (1947 – 1 September 2015) was an Algerian raï songwriter, lyricist and composer.

Biography

Bouteldja Belkacem grew up in the El Hamri neighborhood of Oran in Algeria. He is considered a pillar of modern raï. One of those who modernized the raï with Messaoud Bellemou, in the 1960s, introducing for the first time, accordion and synthesizer instead of guellal (drums) and gasba (flute). On 9 December 1965, he recorded at Brahim El Feth’s, his first tape followed by a disk with two hits. In 1968, his editor leaves for Paris and Belkacem Bouteldja to honor his contract is an obligation to do back and forth to record three discs. In late 1969 his encounter with Messaoud Bellemou will upset the traditional rai and the collaboration will endure until the end of 1979. Bouteldja withdrew for a while returning in 1985, for the first held Rai Festival in Oran, with representatives of the new wave with Cheb Khaled, Hamid and many others.

In 1993, summarizing the history of rai belkacem Bouteldja would say: “Life is like that. To each his own time: Cheikh Hamada in the 30s, Rimitti in the 50s, Bouteldja in the 60s, Bellemou in the 70s, Khaled in the 80s, Hasni and Nasro in the 90s.”

David and Frederick Barclay Net Worth: David and Frederick Barclay are British entrepreneurs who have a net worth of $3.9 billion. Sir David Rowat Barclay and Sir Frederick Hugh Barclay (born on 27 October 1934), are identical twin brothers often refereed as the “Barclay Brothers”. The two hold business interest in media, real estate and retail, and they have gained a reputation as reclusive for avoiding publicity. Few years after the death of their father, the Barclay Brothers left school to work in the accounts department at the General Electric Company in 1950. By the end of the 50s, Frederick and his other brother, Douglas, were running Candy Corner, tobacconists and confectioners, but in 1960, the business went bankrupt. In the meantime, David was serving as a director of Hillgate Estate Agents, and in 1968, his twin joined the Board. The duo was restoring old boarding houses in London, and remade them into hotels. In 1975, they bought their first hotel, the Howard Hotel, and since then, the identical twins built up shares in a variety of businesses. The Barclay’s empire is growing bigger and bigger, including companies like Ellerman Lines, a shipping company, Littlewoods, a retail company, Yodel, a delivery company, and from the media business, they own The European, The Scotsman, Sunday Business and the whole Telegraph Media Group. Also, they were accused of tax avoidance, by placing property under possession of companies that are registered abroad and controlled through trust funds.
