Tunisian musical memory is filled with Jewish artists and performers whose works have left their mark on contemporary Tunisian music in the early twentieth century. 

These works remain immortalised in the musical repertoire, despite historical and societal prejudices, and the representations of intellectual and political power.

How did Tunisian Jewish music manage to free itself from religious prohibitions and societal prejudices? 

How did this music succeed in shaping Tunisian music, enriching popular practice and establishing a specific melodic and vocal identity?

Why were most Tunisian songs from this period characterised by promiscuity and libertinism, and associated with a desire for emancipation, to the point of even clashing with certain intellectual movements?

What remains of the Jewish musical heritage in Tunisia? How did we experience it and how was it integrated on an artistic, cultural and intellectual level?

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.

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.

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.
