Tartit
Zaterdag 08 Juni 2024, 21:15
This group from Timbuktu was formed in exile between the Mauritanian and Burkinabe refugee camps in 1995. All its members are from the Timbuktu region, specifically the Goundam cercle. The group has a single aim: to sing about exile, love, peace and the political condition of the Tuareg people. Tartit was created to safeguard traditional Tuareg music, which was slowly disappearing. It is composed by female voices through an organisation called Tartitn’Chetma (Union of Sisters).
