ALL EPISODES
EPISODE 11

Love Street

Love is a great source of inspiration for poets. It is the voice of the singers, the rhythm of the dancers and a reason to exist for the people. Love within Tunisian folklore is heavily influenced by the geographical context of both the northern and southern parts of the country. It reflects cultural and historical perspectives, and traces how these have developed over time.
EPISODE 10

Songs of the steppes

Al-Salhi is a staple of Tunisian folklore with a strong personality that permeates the collective memory - a living monument that retraces and depicts the details of everyday life in both its simplicity and complexity, as well as particular events and sentiments.
EPISODE 8

The secrets of the faubourg

The world of the zoufris is a distinct world, with its own rules and regulartions... It is the extension of a latent suffering in which historically and geographically marginalised groups have participated, a voice that manifests rejection... The rejection of domestication within the conventional mould, and the culture of the masses that does not tolerate being different.

I dance, I exist

To the rhythm of the Bounouara and the Fezzani, we set off on a journey in which we explore the stories told by the bodies of women and men throughout the generations. What is Tunisian folk dance? Can it be limited to its labels and definitions?What does this spontaneous, natural expression tell us, as it weaves its narrating fabric of temporal and geographical accumulations, as well as cultural, social, economic and political introspection?
EPISODE 3

The "green" erotic poetry

The so-called "green" erotic poetry is one of the poetic forms, which, due to its strong presence throughout Tunisia as well as a lack of documentation, reveals extraordinary paradoxes. Through the stories of "cursed" poets, this episode explores the eternal conflict between censorship and freedom.
EPISODE 2

Stambeli: In search of the origins

There are many myths surrounding Stambeli, a sound that is sometimes disturbing due to its rhythms, codes and mystical trances.

Interspersed with contributions from specialists in the field, this episode takes us to the doorstep of Dar Barnou, one of the six Stambeli houses in Tunisia.

This podcast explores an artistic cultural expression, praciticed by women in the southern and western regions of Tunisia.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
