General Information
Wichah El Andalous, is a musical association composed of 30 musicians, divided in two categories that are: superior and initial classes. It has been active for the past ten years, and represents one of the province's symbols, because the Andalous music is one of the algerian's most important heritage.  The association gain its funds from its participations in festivals, soirées, parties, and sometimes from sponsorship.
Mission and Objectives

The association has two main objectives :
The first one is to preserve the Algerian culture, because the Andalous music is somehow being forgotten given that modern music is trying to rule over.
The second one is to introduce this culture to the world. The association aims to give louder echo to its voices and instruments.
Therefore, to realize these objectives the association has for mission to:
- Teach participants the Andalous Music history before getting to practice;
- provide a good working atmosphere (workshops, instruments, tools...)
- Include classes in the program about the importance of preserving their culture, and motivate them to be part of it;
- Take part in national festivals, events, and competitions;
- Search for opportunities for participations in international  events;

Main Projects / Activities

But the association seeks to be part of something bigger,and itroduce this culture to the world, therefore, international partnership is highly welcomed.
