<i>Amankor / The Exile</i> marks the long-awaited return of the iconic guardians of Tuareg music Tartit, whose hypnotic music speaks of the issues of a culture under attack. With heartfelt songs of nostalgia for their homeland, Tartit spread the message of love and peace whilst transporting the listener to the expanses of the Sahara.

The first album in twelve years from the guardians of Tuareg traditional music. Tartit formed in a refugee camp in Mauritania in the mid- 90s during the Tuareg uprising. Poignant songs about unity, understanding and the threat to the Tuareg way of life. Led by the charismatic female singer Fadimata Walet Oumar known as ‘Disco’. A must-have album for fans of Tinariwen and other desert blues bands / artists, Tartit embrace the authentic instruments of their Malian tradition, along with guitars to give the music a modern edge.
