Hassen Zermani, known as Takfarinas, and founder of the "yal" music is planning to hold a national tour in Algeria. The Algerian artist who currently lives in France (since 1990) is planning to arrive to Algeria in August, for a grand concerts tour in Algeria's main cities.

 

Liberate Algeria reports that the artist has declared that he is planning to tour the country with a full orchestra, encompassing almost 300 people, of whom about 80 foreigners. Takfarinas started his musical career in the 1980s. In 1986, he released a double album Wey Telha (how beautiful) and Arrach (the youths) and gained enormous success, selling almost two million copies.
