France Bleu Provence is a partner of the 16th edition of the Tamazgha Festival from December 8 to 11, 2021 in Marseille at the 15th Art, a unique event crossing borders and generations.
The Tamazgha festival is produced by Sud Culture, an association created by music enthusiasts united around a project of enhancement of North African musical and cultural heritage, in particular Berber.
Between memory of traditions and current mixtures, the festival takes place according to a concept of shared expression, mixing professionals and amateurs, musicians and music lovers, young and old. Since its creation in 2006, the festival has illustrated a strong desire to make culture accessible to all, by offering an ambitious program bringing together rising values and established artists.
