El Mizan – translated as “balance” in English – symbolises harmony and fluidity of movement. The band emerged from the Lake Geneva region. Initiated by Algerian composer Anouar Kaddour Chérif, El Mizan explores “Magh-rock”, a form of psychedelic folk that blends tap-your-foot beats with Algerian chaabi and experimental music. The lyrics, in Darija, a dialect of the Maghreb, celebrate freedom, the aspirations of new generations, and the melancholy of exile, all expressed with a musical fervour that transcends borders.
This concert is part of the Fête de la Musique 2024.
