Tamikrest is an iconic Saharan rock band that has redefined the sound of contemporary Tuareg music. Formed in 2006 in Tinzawaten, on the border between Algeria and Mali, by Ousmane Ag Mossa, Cheikh Ag Tiglia, and Aghaly Ag Mohamedine, the group channels the rich musical heritage of their predecessors, particularly Tinariwen, while forging their own distinct path.
Driven by a deep sense of identity and the need to amplify the oppressed voices of the Kel Tamasheq (Tuareg) people, Tamikrest quickly gained recognition for their soulful melodies, poetic songwriting, and electrifying energy. While deeply rooted in traditional Tamasheq rhythms and Ishumar music, their sound also reflects the psychedelic depth of Pink Floyd, the rebel spirit of Bob Marley, and the raw intensity of rock and blues.
With extensive tours across Europe, Africa, North and South America, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, Tamikrest has become a global force in both African music and the international rock scene—a band that continues to bridge cultures and push musical boundaries while staying deeply rooted in their heritage.
Cloakroom fee 3 € included in the ticket price.
