Rather than being defined in by African music, or protest music, Tamikrest is a band that expands those vocabularies. Tamotaït not only enlarges the world we know, it also pushes us closer, illustrating a path to what music can become.
Listen to the new Tamikrest song ‘Ehad Wad Nadorhan’ from their latest album Kidal released on Glitterbeat Records this month. Kidal is a town surrounded by Malian desert stretches in every direction, it’s also the town in which Tamikrest first came together.
Chatma, the new album from Tamikrest, is possibly one of the most powerful and inspirational records to emerge from the conflict in Northern Mali to date.
Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba announce new album ‘Jama Ko’. Listen to the first single from the album and get the tour dates for Sahara Soul at the Barbican & Celtic Connections.
