Biyouna was born in Belcourt (Alger, Algeria) in 1954 during the war of
liberation against France. Her sister was a famous singer known as
Leila Djazaria. Her mother was selling tickets in a famous theater "le
Dounyazad". As a little girl she often watched famous Egyptian singers
and actresses at this cinema, that's why she decided to start belly
dancing when she was 14 in the most famous cabarets of Alger. In 1973
while she was visiting Algerian television studios, director Mustapha
Badie noticed her "big mouth". He was looking for an actress an
important part of a television series "La Grande Maison", based on a
trilogy by Algerian writer Mohamed Dib. Biyouna made a test and she was
the best. She mostly worked for Algerian television and did some
one-woman shows all over Algeria even when the terrorism was at its
top. She had never leave her native country until director Nadir
Mokneche asked her for the role of Meriem in "Le Harem De madame
Osmane" in 1999, filmed in Morocco, but supposed to be Algeria during
terrorism. She's still living in popular Alger, Bab el Oued, where
she's a star. Now she's working in both France and Algeria for
television and cinema.
