Afirka, c’est le souvenir de cassettes usées qu’on glissait dans l’autoradio et qu’on écoutait à tue-tête. C’est le souvenir des concerts cultes de Cheb Khaled et Cheb Mami. Et en fait, qu’on se le dise, ça n’a pas pris une ride! On s’éclate toujours autant sur ces rythmes qui évoquent l’amour, l’exil, la joie et la liberté. Le groupe ravive l’esprit populaire du raï, du chaoui et de la musique kabyle : celui des fêtes improvisées et des nuits chaudes et insouciantes, où la darbouka retentissante, la mandole nostalgique, le violon écorché et la guitare électrisée, ponctués de longs youyous qui fendent l’air, rivalisent à qui mieux mieux pour faire vivre des moments éternels.

Afirka brings back memories of those worn-out cassettes we’d pop into the car stereo and play full blast; or those legendary concerts by Cheb Khaled and Cheb Mami. And let’s face it, their music never gets old! We still really dig those rhythms that conjure up a sense of love, exile, joy and freedom. Afirka revives the spirit of raï, chaoui and Kabyle music—that of impromptu parties and hot, carefree nights, where the resounding darbouka, the nostalgic mandole, the raw violin and the electric guitar, punctuated by long, piercing ululations, compete to create timeless moments.
