Frigya

Frigya - "Africa" in ancient Tunisian dialect - is a collaboration between percussionist Imed Alibi and producer Khalil Hentati, where they explore a contemporary and electronic approach to traditional North African percussions for which they share a common passion. 

This album and live show is the result of several years of research and creation where the duo inventoried and archived the traditional Mezwed and Bedoui repertoires, in order to deliver a modern interpretation spiced up with dancefloor accents.

It is a tribute to African heritage found in the Tunisian rhythms; a link between the Arab and African worlds; a transmission of intergenerational legacies, in a common spirit of openness.
