The public of the Carthage International Festival had an appointment last night with a 100% Rap evening provided by Balti. Faced with a packed theater, the rap star delighted his many fans.
He is the most listened to and best-appreciated rapper in Tunisia, Balti whose success has only grown since his debut more than ten years ago, was last night on the prestigious stage of the Roman Theater of Carthage facing an audience conquered in advance.
Rap, a genre long marginalized in Tunisia, has established itself in recent years in the programming of all major festivals such as the Carthage Festival or the Hammamet Festival.
With titles like โYa liliโ having exceeded 700 million views on Youtube, Balti is now competing with the big international stars in terms of audience. Its audience continues to grow over the years, composed of a majority of young people, but not only.
For his appearance on the Carthage stage, Balti wished to invite other Tunisian artists with whom he collaborated, such as Kafon, Negro or the young Hammouda, but also the Chilo-Palestinian singer Elyanna with whom he performed “Ghareeb alay”.
