Imouhar is the Tuareg equivalent to “brother“ or “comrade.” It’s a familial way to say “Tuareg people” that expresses a shared bond. Taken from Mdou Moctar’s upcoming album ’Funeral for Justice’ out on Matador Records, May 3, 2024. Mdou Moctar Store:

Lyrics
Imouhar, you know this indeed we have a written history
Written in books and the whole world knows it
Written in books and the whole world knows it
Imouhar, Imouhar wherever you are, you are Tuareg
Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride
Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride
Imouhar why are you abandoning your language, Tamasheq?
You stopped speaking it
You stopped writing it
You stopped speaking it
You stopped writing it
Imouhar, Imouhar this shames us, we must confess
Waking up one day our kids can’t speak Tamasheq
They can’t speak Tamasheq nor write it
Imouhar, Imouhar wherever you are, you are Tuareg
Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride
Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride
