Tamikrest - Kidal LP

Eleven years and four studio albums into their career, Tamikrest is going
home. Their latest album for Glitterbeat was recorded in Bamako, Mali,
but is named for where the group formed, the northeastern town of Kidal.
Their Tuareg blues jams are tightly sculpted, while at the same time keeping
a freewheeling vibe to the jams. The heavy backbeat of hand percussion
grounds the band and provides a launching pad for the soaring ideas.
