What is Rai music and why is it often portrayed as rebel music internationally? How much is the genre tied up in Algeria's violent struggle for independence and subsequent civil war? Who are its main figures and creators? We listened to Tarik’s research on the musical genre. Tarik is an Algerian Risk Specialist at McKinsey & Company. Tarik is afikra’s Africa regional ambassador and one of our presenter coaches. Connect with Tarik: www.instagram.com/tarik.che/ Connect with Mikey: www.instagram.com/mikey_mu/ About the afikra conversation series: Our long-form interview series, hosted on Zoom, featuring academics and arts and media experts who are helping document and/or shape the history and culture of the Arab world through their work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with new found curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into head first. Following the interview there is a moderated town-hall style Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience on Zoom. About afikra Community Presentations: Every Saturday a community member delivers an in-depth presentation on a topic related to the Arab world’s history and culture during a one-hour online event. The presentation is the culmination of a month-long afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research and develop the presentation. The goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity, research and share some knowledge. Each presentation is followed by a moderated Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience on Zoom. Once a month we hold an afikra Mezze event featuring four afikra FWDs, short 5-10 presentations sharing an interesting article, video, book, podcast or another finding with the audience. The presentations are followed by a moderated Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience on Zoom. --- Watch all afikra Conversations: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYG40bwRKl5zTtkqr6sg9AXZBnp7ebTp Join the live audience: www.afikra.com/rsvp afikra Community Presentations: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYG40bwRKl5qsO7esClF9XUFuQrvhzCy Follow afikra: Instagram: www.instagram.com/afikra_/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/afikra.official/ Twitter: twitter.com/afikra Website: afikra.com Email: hello@afikra.com About afikra: afikra is a grassroots movement that has evolved into a global community dedicated to exploring the history and culture of the Arab world. Starting in 2014 in NYC, our mission has always been two-pronged: cultivate curiosity and to build community. We've hosted intimate salon-style events all over the world that feature in-depth presentations on topics related to the Arab world, given by members of our community. What makes afikra different is that our programs and platform is designed to engage our community to ask their own questions, and provide an open community of peers who support each other as we all look for the answers together. Our vision is to build a global community of curious minds who are interested in promoting intellectualism and deepening our communal knowledge of the Arab region. #afikra #arab #rai
