?Frigya? is the 3rd album of the Tunisian percussionist Imed Alibi and the fruit of a collaboration with the electronic music producer Khalil Hentati. Sharing a common passion for North African rhythms and of mezwed and bedoui themes and sounds, the duo made an inventory of it. A real work of archiving, which allowed them to draw from it a new modern interpretation, with electronic accents. Frigya, which means "Africa" in ancient Tunisian dialect, is the result of several years of research and creation within the Silo, an association working to promote world and traditional music in the Occitanie region. This album is an exploration of the sounds of Africa and the Tunisian rhythms inherited from this land; a link between the Arab and African worlds; a transmission of intergenerational influences, in a common spirit of openness. Mixing done by Sofyann Ben Youssef / Ammar 808.
