About Me
THE BAND
Brought through by the "oriental black magic" voice of Alima, Monkomarok reveals freshness and euphoric energy. Their songs express fascinating travel atmospheres .
After having given more than 400 gigs, travels and shows-creations (with dancers, around the theme of Algeria, of Malagasy culture), 3 albums "Din Din Dan" , "Au Plafond !" and "Végétale" , noticed for their originality and mixture of styles opened to the world, Monkomarok affirms a truly musical maturity.
Their alchemy : Oriental Black Magic + Nu-Jazz = Monkomarok
