== Summary ==<br />
Ahellil is a specifically Zenete-speaking community poetic, musical and movement practice within Gourara’s varied oasis culture. Local associations and instrumentalists are documented in2025; the region is neither a map of one exclusive ethnicity nor a claim that every oasis sound is Ahellil. <ref name="africa-recovery-africa2026-dz-ahellil">[https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/ahallil-of-gourara-00121 Ahellil of Gourara].

== Contemporary and trending ==<br />
[[Ahellil]]: Ahellil continues through community practice, associations and public presentation. At Timimoun’s December 2025 festival, prizes recognized local groups from Timimoun and Ouled-Saïd and instrumental practitioners Boudjemaa Agmassine and M’hamed Dahmi. Participants also called for multilingual digital documentation. This is direct evidence of current activity; it does not establish the frequency of ordinary oasis performances. <ref name="africa-recovery-dz-ahellil-2025">[https://news.radioalgerie.dz/fr/node/76745 APS / Radio Algérienne, Clôture de la 17e édition du Festival culturel national d’Ahellil, 28 December 2025].

[[Ahellil]]: Mohamed Bakada, known as Babihi, was honored posthumously at the 2025 festival. Named contemporary instrumental practitioners in that report include Boudjemaa Agmassine and M’hamed Dahmi. The Timimoun folklore association, Taoumet and Ouled-Saïd’s Tigourarine show the collective organizational side of the practice. A festival award list is a dated set of examples, not an exhaustive hierarchy of oasis musicians. <ref name="africa-recovery-dz-ahellil-2025" /><br />
<br />
== Boundary definition and research ==<br />
Gourara: Gourara oasis network around Timimoun, Ouled-Saïd and connected settlements. A broad, country-clipped oasis-network approximation. Settlement, kinship and performance relationships have soft transitions; the outline does not claim an ethnographic survey boundary. <ref name="africa-recovery-africa2026-dz-ahellil" /> <ref name="africa-recovery-africa2026-dz-ahellil-2025" /><br />
