Berber

Berber music, with roots stretching back over a few millennia in North Africa, is the lively sound of indigenous Berber communities, who certainly knew how to throw a musical soiree before it was cool. It features instruments like the lute and the guembri, while the singing often revolves around themes of love or labour, making it sound like a family gathering where everyone's a bit too fond of the couscous. This genre has not only persisted through decades but also experienced a revival, proving that folk can have its moment in the spotlight, much to the delight of those who take their heritage quite seriously.
