Imarhan Timbuktu - AKAL WARLED
IMARHAN TIMBUKTU provided the grooving soundtrack at dance clubs, festivals and private parties in Timbuktu. Grounded in traditional Tuareg repertoire and poetry as members of the world reknown Tuareg traditional group, Tartit, they bring an intimate approach to Tuareg Desert Blues. Refugees since the political upheaval in Northern Mali of 2012, they bear witness to the global political forces shattering the Sahara region. Bandleader, Mohamed Issa Ag Oumar, is backed by younger brother, Ousmane Ag Oumar and by sisters, Fadimata Walet Oumar (Disco) and Zeinabou Walet. Their is music speaks of nostalgia, loss, love, and bravely affirms a proud heritage struggling for cultural survival.

Reviews
Ils appellent ça la «Caravane pour la paix». Le nom n'aurait pu être mieux choisi, considérant la situation explosive qui sévit toujours au Mali, aux prises avec des factions armées islamistes. lapresse.ca
