Hameda Ben Amor[1][2] (Arabic: حمادة بن عمر; born 7 October 1989), better known by his stage name El General (الجنرال), is a Tunisian rap musician.
The songs were previously kept underground by the strict censorship of the autocratic regime of Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Three days later, Ben Amor was released, after being forced to sign a statement to no longer make any political songs.
The week before Mohamed Bouazizi’s death, Hamada Ben Amor used a handheld camera to tape himself singing the song, a baseball cap pulled over his eyes.
[3] After the overthrow of Ben Ali, his songs enjoyed enormous popularity in Tunisia, particularly "Rais Lebled" which became known as the anthem of the revolution and gained him international recognition.
