notes

Shock, sadness, nostalgia. A world shattered. Acoustic guitars echo the pain of dislocation, the loss of a past and the impediments to the future. MOHAMED ISSA AG OUMAR and his band IMARHAN TIMBUKTU, renowned Tuareg musicians from Timbuktu, are featured on five of these ten tracks. Their rhythm guitarist, OUSMANE AG OUMAR, contributes two solo pieces. A third group, DINTCHÉRÉ, young musicians from Timbuktu contribute 3 more.
These ten tracks, meditations on hope and despair, haunt with hypnotic guitar grooves. An abruptly reordered world has put dreams on hold. Music doesn’t provide the answer. It’s only therapy. Waiting in empty rooms, in refugee tents, at campfires in the desert brush. Innocent people as always are left as collateral damage.
