Steve Shehan & Nabil Othmani - Awalin: The blues of blue men

Casually, the family of the modern North African music is being enriched by a new offshoot, the Tuareg scene. Predictable phenomenon, however, seen the musical tradition of this millennium people never lost in the Sahara - "dearest friends," as sung by nabil Othmani - buffeted by the dry winds of history (rebellion, forced displacement ...).
He took the young generation listens and absorbs rap, rock, rai-cut or shifted to a sound "urban" is born. Initially therefore the group Tinariwen was very popular across the Channel, a leader who "hid" a great swell of sounds and lesser-known courses, including fully realized a compilation Ishumar (2008), and would happen almost obscure celebrities of this scene!

Today is Nabil, son of famous musician Baly Othmani, hitting a home run with his first solo album. Opus gently forceful, strong melodies that takes us towards a rock sound and East Aviation. The first album from Tamikrest himself is far harder, frankly electrical charge but an astonishing sensitivity, which does not lose

In short, two albums that could well be a landmark.
