Today marks the 60th anniversary of Algeria's independence, July 5, 1962. An opportunity for VMDN to immerse ourselves in Algerian music.

Since 1962, music, through its notes but above all through the commitments of artists, has accompanied the upheavals of Algerian history, through chaabi, raï, Kabyle music and more recently rap.

To accompany us on this historical and musical journey, producer

Michel Levy

.

His label MLP Music has released a double CD entitled "Algeria my love", and also presents with Wagram Music a box of 5 CDs called "Algeria in songs".
