Fans of the desert blues of Northwest Africa, principally Mali and the Sahara lands, and the music of Ali Farka Toure and Tinariwen, will find this double LP of “The Godfather of Tuareg Music,” Abdallah Oumbadougou, the innovative late guitarist, essential. It’s not only for its music but for the intriguing biographical information in the liner notes and the lyrics translated into three languages. We will leave those rich biographical details to you but set the stage with this capsule summary.
Oumbadougou is a seminal figure in what we in the West have termed “Desert Blues” or “Tuareg rock,” since the early nineties. The genre was originally known as assouf, which means ‘longing’, ‘nostalgia’, ‘the pain that isn’t physical’ in Tamashek, the language of the Tuareg; a large and diverse group of peoples that inhabit the Sahara in a vast area across northwest Africa. “Amghar,” a Berber term for a tribal chief, is a reference to the artist’s role in shaping this culture, apropos of Oumbadougou’s legendary status as an instrumentalist, narrator, and a worthy rock guitar hero. Paramount to all those descriptors, he was a cultural leader. Oumbadougou’s early work was instrumental in influencing current successful Tuareg musicians such as Mdou Moctar, Bombino, and Tinariwen.
