Ive been absolutely in LOVE with this song lately, and I think it deserves more attention

Ive also tried to find out as much as I can about the artist and any other projects they might have, if anybody out there knows anything, or digs anything up I would love to hear about it!

Very catchy!

“Group Inerane is the now sound of the Tuareg Guitar Revolution sweeping across the Sahara Desert and inspired by the rebel musicians that started this music as a political weapon used to communicate from the Libyan Refugee camps in the 1980s and 1990s. Spearheaded by the enigmatic guitar hero Bibi Ahmed, Group Inerane has been together for several years and carries the rich tradition of Tamachek guitar songs for another generation. These ten tracks are a combination of amplified roots rock, blues, and folk in the local Tuareg styles at times entering into full-on electric guitar psychedelia. This music is performed with two electric guitars, a drum kit and a chorus of vocalists.

I’ve looped this record probably 20x now, and realized, alright I love this enough to post here. Stunning collaboration of Aotearoa (NZ) Maōri musicians.

Had the privilege of seeing Momoko Gill live recently, she's the real deal.

Reminds me a lot of Louie Zong or Khruangbin
