Mbarek Athmane known as Othmane Bali,[1] (May 1953 – 17 June 2005) was an Algerian Tuareg singer.

Bali issued his first album in 1986,[2] and afterward worked on promoting Tuareg music in the Tamahaq language. Bali worked with world-famous singers such as Steve Shehan. In 1999 they recorded the album, "AssikelIt" and in 2008 the album was released on the Safar Productions label.[3] The 5th song on the album, "Wagh Azaman", was covered as tribute by the Tuareg band, TissilaWen in February of 2025 and widely praised on social media platforms.[4]
