It features a blend of vocal and instrumental elements, often highlighting the use of traditional instruments like the oud and bendir. The lyrics typically reflect themes of love, nature, and social issues, often sung in the Tamazight language. This music is not only a form of entertainment but also a means of preserving Kabyle culture and identity. Artists like Idir and Lounis Ait Menguellet have popularized this genre, bringing it to a wider audience and ensuring its continued relevance in contemporary music.
