Cutting Borders presents North Africa meets Brazil(DJ Sets - Live Performances - Artisans - Culinary Experience)
Cutting Borders, a collaboration between Cafi Chanta (Mazij) & Tunis Nouveau Club, returns with its second edition, bringing together artists from North Africa and Brazil in a shared musical space.
From the live percussion of SAMBRAZEL to the club-driven sets of Sonalie Solar and N3LYSTAR, and the distinctive electronic approaches of Aly Mrabet and KasbaH, the night moves across rhythms, scenes, and cultural contexts, creating a dialogue between traditions and contemporary club culture.
Taking place at Import Export, both indoor and outdoor, the event unfolds from early evening into late night, offering a continuous journey between live performance and electronic music.
The atmosphere invites the audience to move freely, discover new sounds, and experience the energy of two vibrant musical worlds coming together.
