Izvorišta 402: Abdallah Oumbadougou, Hysterrae...
We listened to some new female voices in this edition of Izvorišta. Before that, however, I presented the album "Amghar - The Godfather Of Tuareg Music Vol.1" by Abdallah Oumbadougou. This time, this musical world tour takes you to Niger, Somaliland, Peru, Norway, Colombia, Portugal, Italy, France, Spain and Indonesia.

Abdallah Oumbadougou - Amghar - The Godfather Of Tuareg Music Vol.1 (Strong Place Music 2024.)
Abdallah Oumbadougou is practically the pioneer of the so-called desert blues, which he began practising back in the 1980s. He achieved almost cult status among the Tuareg, but never achieved the international fame of the group Tinariwen or later successors of groups such as Tamikrest, Bombino or Mdou Moctar. Abdallah Oumbadougou's discography is not so well known to the general public, but now the record label Strong Place Music has released a compilation entitled "Amghar - The Godfather Of Tuareg Music Vol.1", which contains a wealth of outstanding tracks - from live recordings and previously unreleased material to material that made Abdallah famous in his day, at least in the Tuareg community...
Hysterrae - Hysterrae (Linfa Records 2023.)
Music from Salento always goes down well at Izvorišta, as I'm a big fan of it, and this time I paid attention to the group Hysterrae. Four women musicians and an electronic producer have combined pizzica with ambient electronics, resulting in something very exciting.
