Kel Assouf

2011 fans

Kel Assouf means "from nostalgia" in Tamasheq language. The band was formed in 2006 by Anana Harouna, a Tuareg musician from Niger, when arriving in Brussels after a long exile. Since then he explored various styles and formulas gathering musicians from African and European countries. The band recorded three albums: three completely different stories, from tradition to deep rock.

​

The last album 'Black Tenere', produced in 2019 on multi-award winning label Glitterbeat, is a milestone: African trance rhythms melted into the energy of vintage rock bring a significant new vibration in desert music.
