Alima The Band

Genre : Band
Principal country concerned : Column : Music

The female vocalist of French Toulouse-based band Monkomarok invented a music that could be defined as French-Algerian Fado.
Her delicate, intimist lyrics describe a universe where the figure of the Algerian woman is omnipresent.
Sharp, moving musical pictures - that conjure up Steeve Reich's enchanting universe as much as Madredeus' - support the blues of a warm, poignant voice that fills the space with magic.
