Tamikrest - Amazagh - Rad Fyah Studio (on the road) Live Session

​ ​ Filmed at Wüste bar, Zurich Ousmane Ag Mossa - guitar, voice Cheikh Ag Tiglia - bass, voice Cedric “Momo” Maurel - percussion Tamikrest in tamasheq language means junction, connection, knot, coalition. The group members come from different horizons (Mali, Niger, Algeria and France). 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 eighth 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!”
