• S’il est une terre dans le monde Arabo-musulman où la diversité musicale trouverait
son essence, ce serait l’Algérie. Toute tradition s’y exprime au moyen de son propre
langage, le kabyle, le chaoui, le mouzabit, le chaambi, le zénéte, le targui, le saouri, le
abbassi, le tijani, le r’guibat, le jakana etc. Fréquemment de grosses productions
sont réalisées pour couvrir l’animation de fêtes nationales ou de manifestations
culturelles d’envergure. Cela a été le cas pour le festival Panafricain de 1969, Le
Sommet de l’Union Africaine en 2001, Les Jeux Panarabes en 2004, outre les 5 juillet
date de l’indépendance algérienne, des milliers de musiciens de tous horizons
confondus passent en revue dans des adaptations hétéroclites d’une complète
harmonie.
• If there is a place in the Arabo-Muslim world where musical diversity would find its

language, the kabyle, the chaoui, the mouzabit, the chaambi, the zénéte, the targui,
the saouri, the abbassi, the tijani, the r'guibat, jakana etc. Frequently, large
productions are realized to provide a frame for national feasts or important cultural
events. This was the case for the Panafrican Festival of 1969, the Summit of the
African Union in 2001, the Pan-Arab Games in 2004, next to the celebrations of July 5
- Algerian Independence Day. Thousands of musicians of all horizons are gathered in
heteroclite adaptations marked by complete harmony.
