Afrika, Africa in Hausa, is a 6-peiece band of Algerians friends living in Montreal. These Montrealers, keen on covering North African global anthems, have the power to raise these songs high. Doubled with the power to stir up crowds, in the Algerian rai, chaoui and kabyle styles. Virtuoso instrumentalists communing with original instruments with grace and accuracy, including the darbouka – an astonishing membranophone percussion instrument – the Afirka Band stands out for its re-appropriation of a unique repertoire. Maestros of performance, recognised for these hints of notes coming from their soul soaked in the masterful Algerian. Afirka carries their guitars, violins and mandolas to captivate their audience, resolutely oriented internationally. Guys in the wind, connected to amplifiers, ready to take off straight to the Berber peoples and the mysterious Tuaregs.
