About
Afirka brings back memories of worn-out cassettes that we’d pop into the car stereo and blast at full volume. It brings back memories of the legendary concerts by Cheb Khaled and Cheb Mami. And let’s face it—it hasn’t aged a bit! We still have just as much fun dancing to these rhythms that evoke love, exile, joy, and freedom. The band revives the folk spirit of raï, chaoui, and Kabyle music: the spirit of impromptu parties and hot, carefree nights, where the resounding darbouka, the nostalgic mandole, the raw-sounding violin, and the electrified guitar—punctuated by long, air-piercing youyous—all compete to create moments that last forever.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
