Kassaman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kassaman or Qassaman (The Pledge) (Arabic: نشيد وطني جزائري) is the national anthem of Algeria. It was adopted in 1963, shortly after independence from France. The lyrics are by Mufdi Zakariah (written in 1956 while imprisoned by French colonial forces) and the music is by Egyptian composer Mohamed Fawzi.
