Adam — Carthage International Festival, 2025

This filmed live concert captures Tunisian singer Adam (آدم) at the 59th edition of the Carthage International Festival, on 18 August 2025, in the prestigious ancient theatre near Tunis. A figure of the Tunisian pop and Arabic scene, Adam gives a full concert of nearly two hours before a large crowd, blending songs in Arabic, Mediterranean melodies and contemporary arrangements carried by a full band. On stage, his voice and his exchange with the crowd convey the particular fervour of the great summer gatherings of the Maghreb, where the Carthage Festival has held a central place since the 1960s. The capture conveys the scale of the venue, the night-time lighting and the warm relationship between artist and audience. Representative of the 2020s live world and Arabic scene, this filmed live concert documents the vitality of Tunisian popular music and the importance of Mediterranean festivals in circulating these repertoires. A valuable document for discovering an artist widely followed across the Arabic-speaking world.
