Product Overview
Imarhan - Aboogi (Blue Lp) (Vinyl) With the space of just two albums, Imarhan have become an emblem of a new generation of Taureg music and culture, breathing new life into “Assouf”, the desert blues. While most of current Tuareg productions are exiled to the United States, the group, led by Sadam, is part of their culture and their city, the capital of the Tuareg people, with an open door to the desert. By building their own studio in Tamanrasset Aboogi, Imarhan become the spokesmen of the young Tuareg lost generation (forgotten by Algerian, Nigerian and Malian governments).With their new album Aboogi, Imarhan manipulate the rights and ancestry of the Tuareg. By inviting the legendary Mohamed At Itlale aka Japonais (who has since, sadly, passed away) and the genius musician Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni, Imarahan follows the heritage of Tinariwen, the godfathers of Assouf. When they recorded with Gruff Rhys of the Super Furry Animals, their brilliant and universal songwriting takes on every sense of the word. Finally, by inviting the Sudanese singer Sulafa Elyas, we understand that Imarahn is open to all of Africa, defenders of the Tuaregs but above all spokesperson for the new African generation.
