Lapping at your consciousness
With Amankor/The Exile , the Kel Tamashek band Tartit have produced another cultural treasure for the rest of the world to appreciate. Their original intent may have been to keep their own culture alive, but in the process they have succeeded in bringing the sound of the desert into all our lives. By Richard Marcus
Like most of the earliest Kel Tamasheq bands, Tartit formed in the mid 1990s while in exile from their homes in northern Mali. It was the latest in a series of Tamasheq uprisings since the 1960s that saw the people fighting to preserve their traditional territories and way of life through armed conflict. The warfare resulted in many Tamasheq people moving to refugee camps in order to escape reprisals from the Malian government and armed forces.
A joyful tonic for the pandemic-weary
Anansy Cisse s new release Anoura – literally the light – is not only a fine example of Malian music, but the story behind the album is also a microcosm of the struggles facing Malians, especially musicians, in the strife-ridden country. By Richard Marcus
Ever since 2012, when a Kel Tamasheq uprising was hijacked by extremist groups, Mali has been beset by violence, with musicians being particularly targeted. In 2018, as Cisse and his band were on their way to perform at a peace and reconciliation concert, they were waylaid by armed raiders who beat them, destroyed their instruments and kidnapped them.
