ALGERIAN'S TOUAREG MUSIC .... IMARHAN THE BEST

[@benaekmohammed8805]

Even if you don't understand what they're saying, their music will make you understand and feel the words. Their music will touch your depths Imarhan young boys comming to the World to push the musique of touareg to the sky

[@observador3419]

Não entendo nada, mas amo essas músicas.

فخور إنني من طوراق و أنني جزائري شكرا لك صدام و لي فرقتك امرهان شرفتونا حتى في أمريكا 1.2.3vive l'algérie 🇩🇿

[@abderrahman1630]

imarhan forever❤

[@alrashidraad6453]

Saw these guys live in Tucson, AZ last year and it was one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to! They even welcomed me to hang out with them back stage afterwards and signed my vinyl. Absolutely amazing musicians!! Rock on Imarhan 🤘🏼

[@PaulaSantos-wd5zb]

They already recorded a song with XIXA from Tucson, which is why they did this concert there. If you like imarhan, you'll love tinariwen. 😉😘💞

[@jevonwhite5193]

You would also love Mdou Moctar.

[@eddiekaya1]

To all who like this, make sure to check out Bombino, also Tuareg music but with the soul of Hendrix.

[@juanestadian8471]

@eddiekaya1 bombino isn't in the same class as imarhan and tinariwen

[@alexandresaragoca7217]

Imarhan is one of the best live bands on the world. They're amazing 🎸🐫

[@TheMightyKingzuru]

I knew it was about to get intense the moment when the lead vocalist changed guitars to Gibson, and the percussionist went for the djembe drum. The Tuareg music is very intense, nostalgic, melodic and involved.

[@eddiekaya1]

A Gibson SG in fact. One of their finest offerings.

[@sofianeghezali3077]

Imarhan from proud ALGERIA ❤Sahara Touaregs who are among Amazigh tribes that are original people from North Africa.

[@Fernanda-rj9qw]

Je comprends rien mais ces chansons me touchent fortement. La musique algérienne est incroyable. Imarhan, Gnawa Diffusion, Labess... Bravo! Abraços do Brasil ❣❣

Thank KEXP 🙏 for introducing Imarhan group, this group and specially the singer is the child of Tinariwen group. Imarhan is very talented and their singing goes straight to the heart and heals the mind. It's great music and stays that way forever.

He's very humble and even acknowledges that they were influenced by Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure.

[@MrJosephmind]

para salir un poco de la hegemonia musical de occidente

[@alegutierrezmusic]

Pues ni tanto porque estas bandas que se catalogan como Tuareg rock, tienen influencias de sonidos de occidente 😅 Aún así es un sonido diferente.

[@MrJosephmind]

@@alegutierrezmusic si, por supuesto. Pero si escuchar rock latino está aún mas influenciado en comparacion. Estos todavia guardan ese sonido que los hace desentonar en el mercado común

[@palm-tree]

Either a tongue drum or maybe an African handlpan... but hand pans are usually steel I will find out

It is not true here that the band leader is the one who carries the band in the way it plays

You are full of crap, Saddam the lead singer is from Algeria, there is a great documentary about the band.

[@samsonDz72]

He is actuly a nomad from the far south of Algeria near the border of Niger in the african Sahel in the Heart of the Sahara 55* in the summer and 29 in the winter time .he is young and he like to play all sort of music so don't be an ass

[@Wandering_Owl]

They all are nomads. Actually that’s how they're so good at music they have the time to practice and that’s the only way to distract yourself in the desert.

he is a nomad , but he don't own a camel , just a toyota pick up,
