Moh Alileche Brings Amazigh (Berber) Music To the US




Moh Alileche, originally from the Kabylia region of Algeria, brings the music and language of the Amazigh (or Berber) people to the US.

Now based in Albuquerque, he returned to Algeria to record his pointedly named new album, Humanity is Falling Apart, with local musicians.

He joins us to introduce the new album and also introduce us to a great Amazigh musician who inspired him, the late Lounès Matoub.

Learn more at Moh Alileche's website, https://www.flagoffreedom.com/.
