Incredible. I love music that is inspired by something so unrelated to my known way of life. Finally, something fresh.

@Ansariya I think we share the same feeling, i have been listening to them for a week now and i am driving everyone insane at home especially with this song. Only too bad i do not understand them because i am from holland and have my roots in El Hoceima, Morocco. bnitouzin

We invite you to listen this song in our desert, the sahara is more than sand, no one can explain, you must live it.

Lyrics Part 2;

You who are organized

assembled, walking together

Hand in hand, you're living

A path which is empty of meaning

In truth, you're all alone.

Lyrics Part 1; I am a traveler in the lone desert It's nothing special I can stand the wind I can stand the thirst And the sun I know how to go and walk Until the setting of the sun In the desert, flat and empty, where nothing is given My head is alert, awake I have climbed up and climbed down The mountains where I was born I know in which caves the water is hidden These worries are my friends I'm always on familiar terms with them and that Gives birth to the stories of my life

[Ansariya]

For me its like a whole new world has opened, listening to this music, this fantastic band. Never heard of them,spend the whole day listening to them yesterday and continue today - the world I'm in is not new, its old - for me - a 28 year old girl, born in Belgium, my roots lay in North Africa, Morocco, Nador... Tamazight! I love this - its like my heart and soul reconnected with the souls of my antsestors.

Stunning - captivating - and touches my deepest core!
