Imarhan

Imarhan, from Timbuktu, channels the Saharan blues with hypnotic electric guitars and interwoven vocal dialogues. Led by singer-guitarist Iyad Moussa Ben Abderahmane (Sadam), with Tahar Khaldi on bass, Hicham Bouhasse on drums and guitar, Abdelkader Ourzig on guitar and Haiballah Akhamouk on percussion, their music blends traditional Tuareg riffs with rock and contemporary textures. Long spiralling riffs and patient rhythms evoke travel, landscapes and communal bonds; Imarhan—‘those who love each other’—creates an expansive, wind-swept atmosphere.
