The folk group

The folk group of Kerkennah is the only music group of the archipelago. It is composed of 4 musicians and singers. They wear traditionals clothes and play zokra, darbouka and tbal. We can see them during ceremonies like marriages or circumcisions. This group has existed since many centuries and their talent, considered like an art by insulars, is passed to future generations with an oral teaching. In reality it exists more than 4 persons in the group so that there can be a folk group in many ceremonies at the same time. Nevertheless, despite the will of people to keep a folk group in Kerkennah, most of songs and histories have been forgotten with the time.
