Soult Month

Desert music in a nomad style. Mostly traditional chants and the often used, not so traditional electric guitar melts to this psychedelic, sandy blues. But the mix is starting with a hyptnotic Isswat Song from northern Mali desert. Without guitars but with a background-voice drone by men and melodic singing by a women, claps and drums. Then desert-rock pioneers Tinariwen, who succeeded in America and Europe. Like Tinariwen, Tamikrest are singing in Tamaschek. Then an instumental track by Ajial M’Hamid from a desert village in southern Maroc. It’s all music from the Sahel zone, from countrys like Mali, Mauretania, Maroc and Niger. Since years some Tuareg bands are touring the world, not all of them only at their own will. In Mali islamic extremists have banned music and sent musicians and a lot of people in exile.
