Younes Bahri is a film composer. For more than a decade his music has run through film and television, a body of work that moves between the war biopic, long form drama, comedy, and the symphonic stage without losing its voice.

His scores include Lotfi, directed by Academy Award winning director Ahmed Rachedi, Yemma (Seasons 2 and 3, dir. Madih Belaïd), and Dar Lefchouche (dir. Djaffar Gacem). He is currently scoring two major feature films for director Yasmine Chouikh, Benkhlouf and Si El Haoues. In 2024 he composed and orchestrated Thaman El Houria, the first full scale live orchestral musical staged in Algeria, written for symphony orchestra and choir, and produced by the National Opera House. He has  conducted  Symphony Orchestras and has collaborated with the National Opera House across multiple productions.

What holds the work together is melody. Bahri builds from it outward rather than toward it, trusting the line that carries a scene over the machinery beneath it. His instinct for it was formed early and away from the conservatory, on  long immersions in world music, and it remains the spine of how he hears and writes. The result is orchestrally assured, emotionally precise, and unmistakably his own.

He is a multi instrumentalist, working from the piano and writing fluently for a wide range of instruments, including world flutes, instruments he treats as voices rather than colour. Across orchestration, conducting, and the score itself, the discipline is the same: clarity of theme, precision of feeling, nothing decorative.

Bahri is a voting member of the World Soundtrack Academy, and a member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists (USA) and the Ivors Academy (UK).
