Tactikollectif in partnership with Pangaea Network and the Cabaret Sauvage, organize on December 6, an evening dedicated to the artistic heritage of immigration, and more particularly to the singers of immigration.
Inspired by the musical repertoire of the Maghreb singers of exile, the concert “Women know the song” offers to the new female scene the chance to reinterpret some of the most beautiful songs of immigration performed by women in Arabic, Kabyle or French.
