Dans le sud du Maroc, au cœur des dunes, le mythique groupe malien Tinariwen doit clôturer la neuvième édition du festival de Taragalte, à M'Hamid El Ghizlane, ce 28 octobre. Ce festival pose des questions sur la désertification, la vie dans le désert et les liens entre les communautés du Sahara. Des liens tissés aujourd’hui grâce à la musique, notamment celle du Malien Habib Koité, sur scène ce 27 octobre. Taragalte a aussi la volonté d'ouvrir la scène aux jeunes groupes de la région : les musiciens de Daraa Tribes ont ainsi fait forte impression. - Radio France International Afrique

Bio
A fusion of ancestral tribal music and Saharan Blues, Daraa Tribes comes from the oasis town of Tagounite in the Daraa River Valley of Morocco, with each member originating from a different tribe, bringing with them diverse music traditions to create an eclectic style only to be found in the oases of the North African Sahara.
“Daraa” refers to the Daraa River Valley running down the southeastern corner of Morocco, opening up the country to the Sahara Desert and the continent of Africa.
“Tribes” reflects the diversity of those tribes, which have created and prospered from a culture of peace and tolerance amongst them, established and cultivated over the centuries. Each of the members of Daraa Tribes hails from a different tribe settled in the oasis town of Tagounite, bringing with them a diverse set of music styles. These tribes include the Gnawa, Saharoua, Amazigh, Regaga, and Lkaaba.
