Slimane Azem (September 19, 1918 – January 31, 1983) was an Algerian singer and poet, born in Agouni Gueghrane (kabylie region),that composed hundreds of songs in more than 40 years of artistic life.

A great admirer of the poet Si Mohand, Slimane Azem included in his songs different isefra (traditional poetry) by this author.

In 1937, he moved to Longwy in France and found work in a steel mill operation before being mobilized during the "Phoney War", serving in Issoudun.

This woman, of Auvergne origin, whose heirs now keep the shop on Boulevard de la Chapelle, presented Slimane to the record company Pathé-Marconi.

During the '70s, he made comic duets with the famous Cheikh Nouredine and sang Algérie, mon beau pays (Algeria, my beautiful country) and Carte de Résidence (Residence Card) in French.

Over the recordings, Slimane Azem conquered a wide community audience through his lyrics parables where he staged animals and arises as a singer politically engaged.
