Looking for Ouled Nail info

Hi!
I'm in working Algeria for a few of months. I wonder if there's anything left of the Ouled Nail tribe today. I know their dancing days are long gone, but I'd like to see anything I can: costumes, jewellery, traditional music...(The Bardo Museum in Algiers is closed for renovations, they may or may not have had some items on display.)
I plan to go to the Djelfa area where the Ouled Nail lived, but would like to know if there is some specific place/area I should see. Since Google didn't give me many answers (at least in English) I'm turning to my fellow bellydancers. :) If anyone is knowledgeable about the topic, please share your ideas for my pilgrimage. Thank you!

Give Aisha Ali a call or email -- she told us that they were actually still currently performing, as a kind of tourist show, but I can't remember the city.
