about
The new pearl of modern Tuareg music, Kader Tarhanine, has become one of the artists most followed at the moment by young people in the Sahara, embodying the novelty of style, youth and natural talent. Revealed to the general public in 2012 via social networks thanks to his song “Tarhanine Tegla: “my love is gone” which is sung by all the youth and the Tuareg diaspora around the world. It is thus inspired by the rich repertoire of this Sahelo-Saharan zone (Mali-Niger-Algeria) which saw it born and grow. Kader's music combines traditional rhythms with rock tones on poetic Sahelian and Arabic lyrics. After his first tours in Africa and Europe, Kader, already recognized as one of the most beautiful voices of his generation with his mastery of the guitar, is now considered to be the successor to the first generation of modern Tuareg music in the World. His collaborations on stage or in the studio with Mali's greatest artists, such as Fatoumata Diawara and Sidiki Diabaté, have made him a sort of ambassador of peace (through music) between northern and southern Mali, long torn apart by ethnic political conflicts.
