Culture

The Kerkennian culture is ancestral and the memory of deceased people is very present in the archipelago. That is why you can see many tombs of "saints" where inabitants come to pray in Kerkennah. Furthermore, today also, people live in ancestral houses and lots of old people wear traditional clothes. But, it's in particular during summer, when families come back in the islands, that ancestors' voices can be heard. From the end of June, on beaches, darboukas and zokras and kerkennian songs resound every time. About Mellita and Remla, there are 2 monthes of nocturnal parties. Indeed, all the summery nights are animated with marriages in which there are the folk group, songs, dances and histories which remembers the past of the island. Kerkennians are proud of their roots and they will never forget it.
