Legendary poet guitarists and soul rebels from the southern Sahara desert, this documentary extract features performances of '63' under a tree in the desert 'Matadjem Yinmixan' in a tent in Tessalit, as well as a short interview with founder Ibrahim.
In 1963, shortly after independence, the Touaregs of Mali rise up against their new masters. This revolt is brutally suppressed. It is followed by terrible droughts which force thousands of refugees from Mali, Niger and Libya out on the road. It's in the pain of exile that the Teshoumara is born. This movement proclaims the existence but also the necessary evolution of the Touareg people. This is when the guitars of the group Tinariwen first began to be heard.

Olivia il ne s'agit pas de valoriser et aimer cette culture, mais les Touaregs n'ont pas besoins d'un porte parole français, il parle de campagne qui n'existe pas au desert, il ferait mieux de s'occuper de la culture française

Pourquoi " Un Français " ne pourrait-il pas apprécier, aimer , connaître et donc parler de la Culture Touareg ????? .. Où va ce pauvre monde .. Où on est là, s'il faut en plus faire ce genre de clivages .. "Grave de Chez Grave" ce manque d'ouverture et cette agressivité .. On est encore bien loin "Des Lendemains Qui Chantent" .. et pour tout le monde ..

They're not from Algeria, but from Mali.
En tout cas pas de difference, nous Touareg on se confine pas dans le frontieralisme.
