The Ministry of Culture (MoC), represented by the Music Affairs Centre, on Thursday concluded its participation in the summer festivals in Tunisia where Qatari bands presented various shows that reflected the rich Qatari heritage for an elite group of Tunisian, Arab and foreign artists.
Director of the centre and the head of the Qatari delegation Khaled Al Salem stated that the ministry is focused on taking part in abroad events to spread Qatari culture and introduce it to a wider group through performances by artistes from Qatar.
“This will also allow the ministry and its affiliates to become exposed to other cultures that would open doors for future cooperation and the Tunisian festivals represent a good opportunity for such thing,” he added.
The centre’s participation included four cultural shows held between July 31 and August 8. The shows featured many artistes from Qatar most famous traditional Qatari songs, as well as modern songs conducted in artistic concerts in several Tunisian cities.
Taking place in the months of July and August of each year, the Tunisian summer festivals are estimated to reach about 395 festivals.
