  • Tishoumaren (ⵜⵉⵛⵓⵎⴰⵔⴻⵏ in Neo-Tifinagh script) or assouf, internationally known as desert blues, is a style of music from the Sahara region of northern and west Africa. Critics describe the music as a fusion of blues and rock music with Tuareg, Malian or North African music. Various other terms are used to describe it including desert rock, Saharan rock, Takamba, Mali blues, Tuareg rock or simply "guitar music". The style has been pioneered by Tuareg musicians in the Sahara region, particularly in Mali, Niger, Libya, Western Sahara, Algeria, Burkina Faso and others. The musical style took shape as an expression of the culture of the traditionally nomadic Tuareg people, amid their difficult sociopolitical situation, including rebellions, widespread displacement and exile in post-colonial Africa. The word Tishoumaren is derived from the French word chômeur, meaning "the unemployed". The genre was first pioneered by and popularized outside of Africa by Ali Farka Touré and later Tinariwen. In recent years, artists like Mdou Moctar and Bombino have continued to adapt Saharan rock music and have achieved international success. (en)
  • Le Tichoumaren ou blues touareg est un genre dérivé du blues. C'est la musique des ishumars (en français « les jeunes »), ce qui désigne la génération de Touaregs qui a connu la sécheresse, la répression de la rébellion de 1963-64 dans l'Adagh ensuite l'exil, puis les camps d'entraînement en Libye dans les années 1970-1990. En tamacheq, il existe un mot pour désigner ce courant musical : Assouf, qui signifie la nostalgie (voir l'article Saudade pour des synonymes de Assouf dans d'autres langues). Le groupe précurseur, qui a fait connaître cette musique internationalement, est Tinariwen. (fr)
