Oufuqy Music Forum's sixth edition kicked off on October 16.


A number of venues host the activities of the festival such as Atelier Alexandria, Teatro Alexandria, The French Institute in Alexandria, and Jesuits in Alexandria Cultural Center.


The forum is named “Oufuqy” because it follows the horizontal approach to give the audience the opportunity to integrate the festival into their daily activities, according to Oufuqy Music Forum’s official Facebook page.

A number of underground and independent artists will partake in the festival such as Fatma Adel, Do’souka and Looperia.
