Since 1995 IBN BADJI sink into a prolonged slump. It was not until 1998 a small group of Mostaganémois, concerned about the future of Andalusian music in their city, decided to create a core in order to pursue this activity. These BENALIOUA Sid Ahmed, Mohamed Khalifa and Faisal Benkrizi . The big problem was the room. After a year of contacts, travels, home of the culture opened their arms with Mr. Mostepha ABDERRAHMANE , then director of the Culture House. The project was to launch a pilot Mostaganémois orchestra in the fields of Andalusia and chaabi. Gradually, the orchestra grows, because there was a material interest through the basic idea. 
Several evenings were given, not only at the initiative of the orchestra but also the many invitations from the direction of culture, the festival committee of the town of Mostaganem .... Thus defectors mentoring other organizations began to arrive. Mention will be made here that Mrs. Kaoud Harrag, HAMAIDIA Mohamed Benghal Hacene. Real rising stars as the young HAOUKI Amin. Others were directly what I call "outside groups" such Boukhoudmi Norine, KAID Samir Ali BENGUENDOUZ .... A real work of ants, but certainly with the cyclical demands of evenings. Now we all know that it matters Nuba is quite different and that only hard work, long-term managed to forge a framework that can show off on stage.
And here, that this group, or orchestra (not yet called) saw himself composed of a multitude of musicians from different backgrounds. Some covet the presence of a pool of artists, ready to all loads when the situation requires. Others came hoping to join the big band Mostaganem. It was in this tumultuous movement that I was called to know this group very nice, but composed of a motley nebula, during preparations for the Year of Algeria in France in 2002.
The orchestra, composed by my brother and my old friends, they asked me advice. At the sight of 12 musicians, all male and unskilled, armed with banjos, mandolin and bendirs, I could not repress a smile. I advised them to introduce the female element, and barter the cons banjos and lutes. Moreover, I had to add that the key to success was in the field of associations and the need to give a name to the group. Thus BOUZIDIA tribute to Hajj Bouzidi BENSLIMANE was pronounced. This will be the training BOUZIDIA who will compete for the playoffs to the finals of Algiers. Twelve musicians that will be added at my request and my response Nadia OULD MOUSSA which will immediately agreed .
The thirteen musicians, accompanied by Mr OULD BEY then went to Algiers for the finals in Room EL Mouggar. The twelve minutes were endless and at the end, everyone should realize that for a benefit to another job abroad should be done with a different perspective.
On their return from Algiers another surprise for our valued friends. The name has been withheld BOUZIDIA by some kind souls who believe stand in the way this young squad. From a common impulse, he was blown IBN BADJI and this name was chosen by the assembly.
