Description
“The Stars of Tradition” first appeared on the horizon in 2004 when they played together at the annual Desert Festival near Timbuctou. Their music is a union of sounds from the Wodaabe and Tuareg, two nomadic cultures who live side-by-side on the fringes of the Sahara desert in Niger. Their unique musical style of “Nomad Blues” is a soothing blend of hand-clapping, rich percussion and the hypnotic melodies of a bluesy guitar. Their vocals echo each other in two different languages in songs about the women, animals and hardships of desert life. - Maria Grusauskas sanjose.com
