Bargou 08 - a Belgo-Tunisian band - plays a unique blend of popular Tunisian music with modern, hard-pumping rave. The
meeting between the heavy synth groove and
the sound of the melismatic flute, reaches an
even higher level with the playful rhythm section
and the charismatic front man strong vocals.
A musical journey through the almost forgotten
popular landscapes of north – west Tunisia, an
isolated region between the Tunisian mountains
and the Algerian border. Bargou 08 takes
the listener to a journey through this musical heritage,
so close to extinction, and perpetuate it
through a celebration of authentic lyrics, melodies
and dance, combined with modern beats
and electronic sounds.
An invitation to a trance that balances the spirit
and lighten up the hearts, BARGOU 08 has
became a front, Front Musical Populaire !
This showcase is with the support of Wallonie - Bruxelles International (WBI) & Wallonie - Bruxelles Musique (WBM)
