Imarhan

South Algerian outfit Imarhan bring together the traditional sounds of Tuareg music with a modern twist, incorporating elements of rock, jazz, and blues. Although forming in the city of Tamanrasset in 2006, they didn’t debut internationally until 2016 after releasing their eponymous album, Imarhan, on City Slang. Its follow-up, Temet, came two years later, and the group returned to Tamanrasset to build their own studio complex in 2019. Becoming a driving force in the Tuareg music scene and helping to nurture new talent through their own studios, Imarhan returned in 2022 with their third release for City Slang, Aboogi.
