Music also plays a very important role in "The Roots". The work use music of Brahms, Glazunov and electro music.

It seems that Choreographer Kader Attou inscribes into his work the talent and virtuosity of each of the eleven dancers in the group. The piece calls on the story of each person, each dancer with their own richness and uniqueness. It tells us a story of popular cultures and crossed memories.
