About
NESRAF is a progressive chaâbi music group founded in 2015 by passionate musicians who carry within them a heritage deeply rooted in Algerian culture. NESRAF, an Arabic word meaning “Departure,” refers to a rhythmic and melodic motif found in chaâbi and Andalusian music. It is also a metaphor paying tribute to those who had to leave their homeland for other lands, and thanks to whom this heritage has been sung, shared, and preserved across the globe. This musical style, pioneered by none other than the illustrious El Hadj Mohamed El Anka—who popularized it in the early 1930s—represents Algerian folk music par excellence. It is the music of the streets, cafés, and ceremonies. Whether in Algerian Arabic or Kabyle, the group Nesraf reimagines chaâbi classics by infusing them with a contemporary, fusion-inspired touch.
