Singer Lila Borsali will perform on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 6 p.m., at the Mediterranean University Center in Nice. With “Ya Ghorbati”, she invites the public on a musical journey between Arabo-Andalusian heritage, the memory of exile and nostalgia for the homeland.
Music as a bridge between cultures and generations. This is the promise of the show “Ya Ghorbati”, which Lila Borsali will present on Saturday, October 31 at the Mediterranean University Center (CUM), on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Organized by the ADAM association (Diaspora Algeria Mediterranean Association), this evening will highlight a musical heritage deeply rooted in the history of Algeria and the Mediterranean basin.
Lila Borsali, a voice of Arabo-Andalusian heritage
Committed to the transmission of Arabo-Andalusian music, Lila Borsali keeps alive a repertoire where poetry, melodic refinement and collective memory intertwine. Through her interpretations, the singer explores melodies passed down from generation to generation, witnesses to a shared cultural history between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
Her artistic work is driven by a desire to preserve this heritage while making it accessible to new audiences.
“Ya Ghorbati”, when music tells of exile
At the heart of this musical meeting, a universal emotion: that of distance. With “Ya Ghorbati”, Lila Borsali addresses the nostalgia for the homeland, the memories one carries with them and the bonds that remain despite the distance.
The show thus places central importance on songs of exile, on those melodies that tell of attachment to one’s roots and the transmission of cultural identity. Beyond the Andalusian musical tradition, this offering speaks to all those who recognize in music a way to keep the memory of places and people alive.
A cultural meeting at the heart of Nice
At the origin of this evening, the ADAM association works to strengthen cultural ties between Algeria and the Mediterranean. By welcoming Lila Borsali to Nice, it wishes to introduce the public to the richness of Algerian musical heritage and promote encounters between cultures.
