In celebration of International Museum Day and as a closing event for Tarek Atoui’s At-Tāriq: A Journey Into the Rural Musical Traditions of North Africa and the Arab World, we invite you to experience a live set by DJ Azu Tiwaline in the garden of the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. The event is also part of Casa Árabe's Tunisia Country Focus activities.

Drawing on the rich sonic landscapes of rural North Africa, this set will reimagine traditional sounds through contemporary electronic and experimental music. Join us for an experience of deep listening and rhythmic exploration, offering an engaging and immersive finale that honors the journey of At-Tāriq through sound.

Co-organized by TBA21 and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in collaboration with Casa Árabe.

Azu Tiwaline is an artist creating new worlds for us all to hear and see each other within. Conjuring a sense of cosmic belonging within life’s maelstrom, her music is an extension of her being transformed into abundant rhythmical energy - beloved for her wonderful ability to channel vast inner realms into the outward joys of dance & movement. With an extraordinary musical vision firmly rooted in the freeing kinetics of soundsystem psychedelia, her vibrations bring vivid influence from the Saharan region  & her Tunisian heritage into communication with the transcendent spatial awareness of dub and the grooving, dynamic exuberance of techno.

Through much adored releases on Marseille’s IOT Records & Bristol’s Livity Sound, she’s amassed love & respect for her practice the world over, bringing her hybrid live/DJ abilities to esteemed festivals like Dimensions, Freerotation, Unsound, Boom, Modem, etc, and clubs like Berghain, Tresor and Fabric London, as well as contributing podcasts to venerated mix series Dekmantel, Illian Tape, Resident Advisor or Crack Magazine.
