Bio

Takfarinas, de son vrai nom Hacène Zermani (en kabyle: Ḥsen Zermani, ⵃⵙⴻⵏ ⵥⴻⵔⵎⴰⵏⵉ), né le 25 février 1958 à Tixeraine, dans la banlieue d'Alger, est un chanteur, musicien, auteur-compositeur-interprète algérien. Il vit en France depuis 1979. Ses textes rendent hommage à la culture kabyle et amazighe, mais s’en échappent quelquefois pour aller vers des appels engagés qui constituent sa signature. Il nomme le style musical dans lequel il s'investit « yal ». Takfarinas contribue à populariser la musique kabyle en Europe.

Son style et sa musique, d’amour et de fraternité, se sont développés au-delà de son pays l'Algérie. Une musique qui incarne la joie de vivre ensemble et qui bannit le fanatisme et l'extrémisme. Un combat de plusieurs poètes kabyles et artistes kabyles.

Hacène Zermani (Kabyle: ⵃⵙⴻⵏ ⵥⴻⵔⵎⴰⵏⵉ Ḥsen Zermani; born 25 February 1958), known by the stage name Takfarinas, is an Algerian Kabyle Yal musician. Takfarinas took his surname from the ancient warrior of North Africa Tacfarinas who fought against the presence of the Romans in Algeria. Since 1979 Takfarinas has lived in France. However, his songs promote and celebrate the Kabyle culture into which he was born. Takfarinas is perhaps best known for his voice which covers a wide range and the 'takfa' which is based on a traditional lute like instrument which he has modified by adding a second neck. Each neck provides a distinct sound, one neck is feminine and the other masculine. Nowadays the takfa has been replaced by an electric half-drum mandole. Like the takfa this has two fingerboards. The advantage of this new instrument is that it is able to create the large concert sound which he now needs.
