The one-day event will feature several music programs, starting from 5pm till 10:30pm.

The members of this 5-piece band are Samuel Strouk on the guitar, Quentin Braine on the drums, Guillaume Marin on the bass, Mathias Levy on the violin & guitar, and Serena Fisseau with the vocals.

"Smala" is a word originating in North Africa, and means "Family". The band members played together for 10 years before "Sam Smala" was actually created.

The artistes have studied in some prestigious music schools in the world, including at the Conservatory Of Paris and the New York?s Drummers collective. They are currently working on the band's first album, which will be released at the end of 2010.
