Alkebulan has had some negative feedback because we support our dear friend Tofik Dibi for being who he is and will always be. We were both surprised and hurt because of this. Best way to get over the hurt is to write it down. So Naoual did just that. Read her heartfelt words to a dear and now old friend…
Thursday 7 May we released the Alkebulan Project, numerous artists from various areas of Africa joined together and celebrated the release. We celebrated this fine night with music from Amartey & The Yung Bilibams, Elvira and performances of Tofik Dibi, Ouassima.A mishmash of beautiful creatures visited our event and we couldn’t be more happy about the end result:
