He shares the stories behind the origins of his collaborations and dives into the musical traditions of North Africa — namely Aïta and Isawiyya – discussing the disappearance of these oral traditions. Khalil talks about the music that inspired him as a teenager, and how \"shaabi\" music is perceived and understood today. He finally, reflects on the impact of the Tunisian revolution on politics, culture and music, as well as the state of the musical ecosystem in North Africa today."}
