Life
Domrane was born in Tizi Hibel, a village in the commune of Aït Mahmoud in Kabylia, Algeria. She began singing at a young age, participating in her high school choir in Tizi Ouzou.3
In 1969 she won a gold medal at festival in Algeria.[2] After graduating as a nurse, she began work in a hospital but soon decided to dedicate herself professionally to singing, in defiance of the customs of her family and village.[2]
In 1979, she went to France to release her first album, Tsuha, her first great success.[2] She later published several albums, with songs typified by feminist cultural and the linguistic demands of the Berber. From 1994, she decided to live in France with her family.[2]
