Nouri Rouighem 'Camacho': Four decades of dedication to Algerian cinema

Nouri Rouighem, widely known by his stage name "Camacho," reflects on a remarkable artistic career spanning over 46 years. His journey began in the Tanger district of Sétif, fueled by a deep passion for theater and support from local friends. His breakout moment arrived in 1980, when director Abderrahmane Bouguermouh cast him in the film "Kahl ou Beida" after a spontaneous encounter. Although he frequently performed secondary roles, his unique wit and presence made him a beloved figure among Algerian audiences. Throughout his long career, he appeared in numerous television series and movies, notably contributing to his first film by performing the song "Sabret Sabret." Recently, Camacho was honored for his contributions to the arts at the opening of the first Algerian Contemporary Cinema Days in El Eulma, Sétif.
