“This orchestra will give to the Algerian song the position it deserves taking into account the role of youths in the promotion of the Algerian heritage,” said one of the recital’s organizers.
Eleven young talents performed at Ibn Zeidoun movie theatre a number of songs from the repertoires of famous Algerian singers, including Saliha Saghira, Warda El Djazaïria and late Na Cherifa.
