Carsten Pieper I simply love this Toureg kind of desert blues. If you like Tinariwen or Tamikrest check out this band in exile. I sincerely hope, that they will soon be able to play in their home country, again... Favorite track: Dounia Tade.

petdak Vibrant and groovy Favorite track: Tumastin.

Lorena Moore Ishumar music, strong and sweet as Tuareg tea. Another essential Malian guitar album. Look up at the constellations tonight, find the three stars that form Orion's guitar strap, and listen. Favorite track: At Oui Tass.

about

Lush studio compositions with rolling rhythms and wistful melodies from Northern Mali’s standout Tuareg guitar band. Disrupted by political conflict in the Sahara, Amanar’s follow up is years in the making. Soulful call and response in a charged reclamation to the origins of Tuareg guitar: messages to a people divided. Songs about change, nostalgia, and hope from Mali’s band-in-exile.
