DUBAI – Algerian band El Dey swayed spectators at the Jubilee Stage at Expo 2020 Dubai on Monday night with their unique brand of fusion, embracing different genres, such as diwane (Algerian gnawa), chaâbi and flamenco, enriched with touches of jazz.
The band, led by Samir Merabet on vocals and guitar, delighted the audience – including a number of Algerians waving Algerian flags – with rai and Sufi songs, as well as tunes from samba, salsa and reggae.
