THE VIBE SHOW

The "The Vibe" Program:
A Platform Open to All Music

A new program titled “The Vibe” will be broadcast soon. This program is not limited to Tunisian talents but is also open to Arab talents. This openness extends to production partners and Arab channels that will broadcast it.

The production of the program involves several countries: Tunisia, which hosts all activities, as well as Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and the Gulf. These different regions collaborate to discover talents outside the usual frameworks.

The “The Vibe” program is derived from another program titled “The Vibe Extra,” which falls under the reality TV genre. It covers the behind-the-scenes of the main program, including the training of participants after the selection phase, leading up to the “prime” episodes where the competitions take place.

The program is interested in all musical genres in Tunisia and the Arab world, from heritage to alternative expressions. It aims to encourage fusion experiments that bring traditional music to new horizons by blending it with world music.

This program differs from others by its jury, which is not fixed but changes with each episode. It includes representatives from different musical genres and countries, in harmony with the program’s orientation.

Among the participants, the group “6 Demy” from the Kairouan region, which blends Sufi style with rap, has been highlighted. They use traditional instruments like the “zokra” and chants enriched with “medha” techniques.

Although the platform for emerging talents from the Arab world has been launched, specific dates for auditions and the start of the competition nights have not yet been announced. Details regarding the Tunisian channel that will broadcast the program are also to be confirmed.

The program has attracted the interest of the Federation of Music Professions and Related Professions. At the launch conference, President Maher El Hmami expressed his support for this initiative that encompasses all musical genres, emphasizing the importance of guidance and candidate selection.

The presence of artist Ghada Jreidi was a significant moment at the conference, as she had previously participated in talent programs such as “Star Academy,” drawing attention to her voice and performance.

Although some aspects of the program, such as specific dates for auditions and broadcasting, remain unclear, its theoretical orientation reflects an attempt to innovate and restore Tunisia’s pioneering role in talent programs.
