Fethi Trab · Sirbey

Fethi Trab returns to Makeda on November 19! Between blues, rock and the Africa of Farka Touré, Fethi Trab becomes a modern griot and opens the doors to a land believed to be arid but overflowing with poetry. Descended from nomadic tribes of North Africa, he brings forth through his songs the echoes of an ancestral world struggling to be buried beneath modernity. A blend of sounds and instruments—ney, lespine and others—that come together on stage for a festive and contemplative moment. Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-60085941 SIRBEY The sound of a stationary traveler. Sirbey does not belong to a single land, but to a geographical triangle that shapes his identity: North Africa for his roots, Spain for his immigration, and Marseille, his current home port. Under the name Sirbey, he creates a unique electro-pop sound in which the memory of his homeland meets the raw energy of machines. His flagship project, Aouchem (The Tattoo), lives up to its name. Like indelible ink beneath the skin, his music tells of what we carry with us when we change countries: memories, scars and hopes. An independent producer working on an Akai Force, Sirbey blends distant echoes of North Africa and Spanish influence with modern electronic rhythms to create a sound that is both introspective and made for the excitement of today’s major stages. More than a musician, Sirbey is a storyteller of reality. Through tracks such as Douar and Machi Belani, he explores the margins of nightlife, wandering and the complexity of human feelings, between love and hate, intoxication and redemption. Sirbey is the story of a sonic immigration finding its voice in the noise and light of Marseille.
