Anou Malane
by Abdallah Ag Oumbadougou
Produced in Benin in 1995, “Anou Malane” is one of the first studio recordings of Tuareg guitar. The genre is transformed with a full-on 90s swinging groove.

Tiris
by El Wali
An amazing and rare studio recording of 1990s Polisario music! The album is a standout example of the Sahrawi political folk style.

Excellent guitar. Kinda trance-like and spiritual feeling. Happy to support these ladies and a local Portland label.

You don't even need to read the info to know they are singing of peace and love energy. this is such pure music -- not in a fetishization of ethnic music kinda way. it's so clear that this all resonates from a heart center. the recordings are raw and encapsulate sitting literally anywhere except a recording studio making music. love this to pieces.
