Djur Djura is an Algerian women's musical group formed in 1977 by one woman, Djura, whose struggles in life turned her into a hero for many young Algerian women.Born in the late forties in a remote kabyle (berber) village of Algeria, Djura began her existence on the edge between life and death. Rejected by her mother for being a girl, she was raised by her grand-father's wife, who gave her all the love she lacked from her own mother.

In the early 1950's with the encouragement of immigration of North Africans as a source of cheap labor by the French government, Djura's father took his family to France. The family lived in a poor district of Paris called Belleville. Because of his involvment with Algeria's National Liberation Front, Djura's father was imprisoned. This event led the young Djura to help raise her seven younger siblings.

Djura's outstanding singing voice gained her solo parts in the school choir, but when she was offered at 16 a main role in a TV series, her father forbade her to take it. To escape an impending arranged marriage and hoping for independence, Djura fled Paris for Algiers where she wrote her first songs.

In 1977 she formed the group Djur Djura, named after the Mount Djurdjura near her childhood home, first with her two sisters and later with other young Berber singers, accompained by musicians from North Africa, America, and France. Djura dedicates her songs to "all women who have been deprived of love, knowledge and freedom".
