THE LINCOLN CENTER FESTIVAL WITH TALA ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES PRESENTS:
"A Night in the Maghreb" featuring:
Idir (U.S. Debut) Najat AAtabou (U.S. Debut)
Two extraordinary pop music artists from North-Africa (the Maghreb), Algerian-born Idir and Morocco’s Najat Aatabou, will share a bill in “A Night in the Maghreb,” a concert that will introduce the world-renowned performers to an American audience for the first time. Both artists have Imazighen (Berber is the more-commonly-known word, but is considered derogatory) roots which have influenced their musical style and expression. Paris-based Idir—born in the Kabylia region of Algeria—has been at the forefront of socially and politically relevant French-Algerian music since the 1970s. Najat Aatabou is a powerful vocal artist, one of the few, female Chaabi singers performing today, whose music merges Imazighen and Arab influences, and carries a strong feminist message that draws wide audiences at home and abroad.
Najat Aatabou will also be performing at Millennium Park in Chicago on July 16th for the Music without borders Series
