Iconic Saharan blues legends Tamikrest, bring the powerful voice of the Kel Tamasheq people to our stage.

Formed on the border of Algeria and Mali in 2006, Tamikrest quickly developed a reputation for their sharp melodies and deeply political songwriting.

The award winning Chatma—dedicated to the struggles of women in the Sahara—was hailed as a major work of the Ishumar genre. Since then, Tamikrest has further asserted their deep Tamasheq roots, fusing traditional music with the raw energy of rock.
