Keltoum, whose real name is Aïcha Adjouri, is an Algerian actress, born February 4, 1916 in Blida, and died November 11, 2010 in Algiers. Figure and dean of Algerian theater and cinema, Keltoum crosses paths with Mahieddine Bachtarzi who recruits her for a small role as a dancer in an operetta. In 1937, she co-starred with Rachid Ksentini in Marriage by Telephone and appeared in most of the shows on the famous "Mahieddine tours" in Algeria, North Africa and Europe. It also happened that the rigors of the colonial law of the time came to sanction the actress. In its edition of March 21, 1950, the daily newspaper Algiers Republican reports a fine of 50,000 francs imposed on Mahieddine by the municipality, the layoff for a month of the actress Keltoum and the ban on performing on the stage. of the Opera made to the Tunisian singer Ali Riahi, on the grounds that the piece El-Ouadjib and the songs during the performance included passages deemed "seditious".

At the cinema, she appeared in La Septième Porte by French filmmaker André Swobada with, in the main roles of Leila and Ali, on the one hand, Maria Casarès and Georges Marchal for the French version and, on the other hand, Keltoum and Bechir Gabsi for the Arabic version. She will shine especially in a magnificent silent and stripped interpretation of mother courage in the Vent des Aurès by Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina in 1966. Asked about his meeting with the actress, Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina confided that it was on the recommendation of André Swobada whom he met and chose Keltoum for the Vent des Aurès.
