Tunisian underground music

Using the term underground to define a performing arts movement or scene in the Arab world, including Tunisia, takes on a slightly different meaning compared to the one generally understood when used in the western countries.

The most active scene is arguably that of Tunisian heavy metal bands, most notably Myrath,[1] but also Persona,[2] Nawather [1], Carthagods and Ymyrgar.

The Tunisian rap scene is very productive but it is still widely based on self-producing MCs such as Wled Bled Crew (Balti...), T-man (Nizar...), Arab Clan (Karoura...), Warda Crew (Wistar), Zomra (El Castro, A.L.A, ZOUfree, Black T, Djappa Man, Bamboucha), Psyco-M, Vipa , Massi , Katybon , Klay BBJ, Hamzaoui Mohamed Amine, NASTYSH!

!T, Slim Larnaaout, AMYNE, WELD EL 15, Kamel Zmen, La Masse, BmG ,Samara, Joujma, Tchiggy , BadBoy 7low, JenJoon plus a growing number of music producers known by their unique sound quality and creativity such as Dj Killer, Dj Momo.

Since the Electro and trance "craze" gave its fans to Deep House and Tech house and some Techno, Minimal and Dubstep making a larger and open minded scene, which helped to create new concepts that unites the underground scene together.
