Morocco-ALSharqiya, August 3: The traditional song "Kharbousha", performed by Moroccan singer Dounia Batma, returned after it was deleted from "YouTube", in conjunction with an uproar in Algeria about its use of the image of Prince Abdelkader Al-Jazaery.
The video was returned again without losing views and with the same old publication date, but without the prince's image, which was blacked out.
The song disappeared last month after it was posted on YouTube, and a message appeared in its place saying that it had "violated property rights."
And the Moroccan website Hespress reported that the digital company in charge of the Batma channel had contacted YouTube explaining the details of what happened, explaining that the matter was not related to copyright infringement.
The Batma team employed the image of Prince Abdul Qadir as the authoritarian whom the song criticizes, Issa bin Omar al-Abdi, which caused anger among the users of communication sites in Algeria, while the Batma team confirmed that it was just a mix-up and a mistake.
Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza’iri is the resistance poet who was pledged allegiance by the Algerians in 1832 as the emir of the resistance to the French colonialists.
As for Issa bin Omar al-Abdi, he is a leader who acted as a mediator between the central authority and the tribes.
"Kharbousha" is the name of a song that dates back to the late nineteenth century in the city of Safi. It is also the nickname of the popular poet Haddah al-Zaydiyya al-Ghayathiyya, who used the power of the word to fuel the spirit of the revolution against Issa bin Omar.
