Tartit
Ichichila
$17.99

Part of that strange sub-genre recently "desert blues," Tartit come from around Timbuktu, Mali. They are members of the Tuareg tribes people. The ensemble uses Tuareg lute (tehardent) and fiddle (imzad), but is not afraid of the occasional electric guitar, either. Driven by tind้ drum and hand claps are the call and response vocals of the women, giving this music its unique, rural sound.

" The performance is spirited and since precious little Tuareg exists on recordings, this CD is essential for world music audiences." - RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
