Producer/Director
National Geographic Arabic
What happens when you traverse Africa’s largest continent, travelling only on trains, in search of music? You find a rich tapestry of talent that reveals the true diversity of this vast country: its traditions, cultures and voices. From the Touraeg music in the deep South, to Rai in the Western city of Oran, the traditional courtly muwashaat from Constantine, and modern pop bands from Algiers, this series takes viewers on an inspiring journey through unchartered territory in a county whose love of music persisted throughout 15 years of bloody civil war.
