Nothing is more evocative of the fascinating expanses of the Sahara desert than the music of Tartit, a Tuareg band consisting of five women and four men residing in the Timbuktu region. Tartit play hypnotic, trance-inducing music: the women sit down, sing, and play cyclic rhythms on their tinde drums, while the men sing and play string instruments, acoustic and electric. The men are veiled, the women aren't. Tuareg society is one of the few throughout Africa in which women are allowed to choose (and divorce) their husbands. The band was formed in a refugee camp, during the Tuareg uprising in the early '90s. Tartit have toured Europe several times, most recently as part of the Desert Blues shows. The album was recorded in Bamako and in the northern Mali desert by (Congotronics producer) Vincent Kenis, on his mobile studio.

hi dear friend - how are you? Just to let you know we wrote a ballad in the French tradition and made a clip with it. If you have some time to spare, take a look and tell us what you think...

Dear friend
I am sending you this to let you know that my first release on the web through myspace and audigist is now accomplished.

Thank you for the support and friendship.
Peace and love
Salam! I am an Iranian sax player living and playing in NYC. I have been knowing you and your music for a long time. In fact, I was in Bamako for a concert with Salif a couple of years ago. Unfortunately at that time I had no time to travel to the North of Mali to meet Ali Farka Toure and you. Maybe next time?! I would love to play with you. I am sure my sax sound would fit to yours. Cheers, Sohrab
