Amazigh Rising

Published: June 26, 2024, midnight

The Amizigh, or Berber, are the original inhabitants of North Africa, which means their roots run deeper than the region\u2019s better known Arab or European inhabitants. Berber history and music span from ancient sounds from the Atlas and Kabyle mountains to the latest pop fusions. In this, the first of Afropop\u2019s Berber music series, we get the history and hear some of the extraordinary music that history has given us. Produced by Banning Eyre.
