The song Tamiditin from Tamikrest's new album Adagh! Out on march, 1st! Released on Glitterhouse Records! www.glitterhouse.com

TAMIKREST in tamasheq language means junction, connection, knot, coalition. The group members come from different horizons (Mali, Niger, Algeria). Wanting to assume fully their Touareg identity, they found in the rebel music Ishumar the means to express it.

A desert hosts us, a language unites us, a culture binds us.

The story begins at Kidal, capital of the 8th Region of Mali, while making tea of course. Pino, Cheikh and Mossa had just finished a guitar workshop with Juhan Ecaré (guitarist for Meiway) when they decided to form a group with only two old home made guitars. And they got to work

Even though we are young, guitars still have six cords!

After one year and a half of hard work, the group is complete and their repertory has grown to contain more than twenty-five original compositions. Though their music takes root in Ishumar Rock or Tuareg Blues, it borrows from various international influences as well as from neighbouring cultures.

Through the message of their songs, TAMIKREST want to make Tamasheq poetry and culture accessible to inhabitants of a world larger than the immensity of the Saharian desert.

  • @1hamidsarab:"je suis un berber amazigh de lybia"

    Tous les maghrébins de la mm origine.

    La différence crée de ttes pièces,à l'aide de l'ennemi impérialiste

    La scolarisation dans les masses née en langue arabe, qu'on fait passer pour une invasion arabe.

    Et de ceux restés analphabètes jusqu'au 20e, car dans des régions reculées, qui se font passer pour les seuls berbères, que sont les berbéristes

    Saches que les touaregs sont avec la révolution verte contre les berbéristes du Nefusa

You have no history at all. And finally, go fuck yourself. Make no pleasure insulting people.
