20:00 - 21:00: Algerian Vinyl / Mounira Zerkine
Mounira Zerkine is a French-Algerian teacher, music lover and vinyl record collector. She spent part of her life in Oran, where, largely influenced by the raï of the 80s and 90s, she nurtured her interest in other musical styles from the country. Today she shares her passion and her collection under the name Algerian Vinyl on Instagram, highlighting the diversity of Algeria's musical heritage.
21:00 - 22:00: Live by Benzine
Benzine draws its inspiration from Algeria's Bedouin poetry, which it transforms into a fissile synth-rai that smells of exhaust fumes from the streets of Sidi Bel Abbes. Formed by Farid Belayat and Samir Mohellebi, the duo deploys sounds embroidered with synthesizer, drum machine, bass, guitar and a bowl of West Algerian instruments (sampled for the occasion) to plunge you into a rendering as frenetic as driving an Oranese cab at rush hour: tense, trance-like and danceable. Their debut album "Nawri" (bourgeonne in French) was released on March 21 on the La Navette label.

22:00 - 00:00 DJ set Hadj Sameer
Hadj Sameer, medical researcher on the one hand, and documentary filmmaker, archivist, lecturer and DJ on the other, is one of the world's leading collectors and specialists in Raï, with some of the rarest vinyls and cassettes of Raï and Algerian music in general in his collection. Co-author and co-director of the "Raï is not dead" series released a year ago on Arte, he will be concocting a unique vinyl selection to get Marseilles, the "59th wilaya", dancing to heady rhythms accompanied by nostalgia-filled classics.
