Al Bilali Soudan
from Timbuktu -- proto punk rock takamba -- this music blows up any preconceptions. An extended family of musicians and griots sought after for generations. Torch-bearers of quintessential Tamasheq music shaped by loops, shouts and the continuous interweave of tehardent and hand percussion. These masters bring youth and energy with lightning-fast mastery of traditional sounds improvised and adapted into the 21st century.
"
The electronic buzz of plugged-in tehardent no longer sounds like the repetition of background music. Now, it starts a fire, fully energized, and with every member at full volume
." --
Adriane Pontecorvo
, PopMatters
"
We saw the group at Joe's Pub in New York in their first performance on Sept. 14, 2022, and it was exquisite. Al Bilali Soudan's two albums are both highly recommended, but there is nothing like seeing this group live. Hypnotic. Seductive. Mind-blowing. Words fail
." --
Banning Eyre
, Afropop Worldwide
"From Timbuktu, as we spell it, four or five male blood relatives shout and expostulate their songs in Tamashek and Songhai ... as they thrash and manipulate their ngoni-like tehardents. Whether conjoining barely coexisting peoples or boosting kind women who are better than they are, both of which they make sound worthy and neither of which they make sound easy, they will get your attention, guaranteed. If you like desert music enough to suspect you've heard it before, you haven't -- Tinariwen are showbiz by comparison, Tamikrest urbane, Tartit cute." --
Robert Christgau
"
A primordial rock album thousands of years before the concept of rock was ever hatched
