It was the local troupe En-Nour what had the honor of inaugurating this cultural presence in local authorities, a representative of the Ministry of Culture for assistance and an audience consisting especially of relatively large families.

The opening night resulted in a cocktail very popular with the public, during which stood out, in addition to the cast of In-Nour Mila,the Moulay El-Tayeb El Bayadh and Hilalia Ghardaïa  troupes who graced the public with a medley of Aissaoua songs declined in Saharan rhythms.

To the applause, the Djoussour band from Constantine who seemed to have captured the public milieu which  reveled in a sort of fusion between gender and Aissaoua Malouf Constantine. The evolution of the members of this troupe, including several women elegantly dressed in the famous Constantine gandoura  climaxed in a crescendo to the tehoual "cause", a collective trance  which was quite impressive.

This festival, which was opened in  the early evening in the courtyard of the house of culture Mili El Mubarek by a concert of folk songs and last stand bursts, also resulted in an exhibition of  highlighting rich heritage and the place that Aissaoua occupies in Algeria.

Outreach activities are planned in six municipalities of the province of Mila for  this event which runs until June 19
