ECHOS SONORES FESTIVAL TUNIS
Concept
As part of the early summer festivities and to mark the Fête de la Musique, Echos Electrik is proposing, in partnership with Tunisian and foreign cultural institutions, the creation of an electronic music festival « LES ECHOS SONORES ».
The aim is to involve the various European cultural institutions of the countries that are at the origin of this musical movement, in the development of electronic music and its visibility in Tunisia, the Arab world and the African continent.
By taking over prestigious architectural heritage sites, combining musical and visual programming, and offering artists from diverse backgrounds a shared working space, Echos Sonores aims to encourage the emergence of new forms of performance, and to combine creativity, encounters and experimentation.
We’re proposing an event that will bridge the gap between populations in order to enhance and increase the creative capacity of local artists, stimulate local initiatives by organizing sound and video mixing workshops, and offer the Tunisian public the various components of electronic culture.
The aim is to make this event an eagerly-awaited fixture on the Tunisian summer calendar, giving the public a chance to discover a constantly evolving music scene featuring artists of international stature.
The organizing committee will also be holding auditions for young Tunisian DJs. Three of them will be selected to present their Dj sets and will be included in the Festival program.
