The music genre of TARWA N-TINIRI is desert blues. We mix traditional amazigh music and North-African tones with world music such as blues, jazz, reggae and gnawa.

Our music captivate and express about the social differences and circumstances of the nomadic people in our region. We want to show the world our unique culture by performing our music.

The texts are lyrical and exciting which create a magical blend of desert blues and folk music (amazigh) – and we reinvent the regional music in our way. The urban amazigh poetry is written by the band members and other poets from the southeastern region of Morocco. The band have composed all their songs.

BIOGRAPHY

TARWA N-TINIRI is a growing group of six highly talented musicians and performers united to show the Amazigh music and culture to the world! Our origin is from Morocco’s Ouarzazate, the city with the nickname “The door of the desert”. Desert Blues genre has an increasing music interest all over the world because of bands like Tinariwen, Bombino, Tamikrest … which are the main musical inspirations for us.

From self-made guitar in 2012, when the band started, to original instruments, the band are now established and have been in many big festivals in Morocco. They first trip abroad was in 2018 to Norway and touring there in Trondheim and Oslo with great experience, and in May 2019 the band also performed in Nantes, France.

The origin of our lyrics is written by the band members, and we also compose the music ourselves. Some of the melodies are written by Amazigh poets. We perform our songs in Amazigh language. The lyrics are often about the social conditions of the nomadic people, but also about love, friendship and peace. Our song Taryet, and till now our most seen YouTube music video with over 1M+ viewers since March 2017.
