Tamikrest are a group of young Touareg musicians from the far north of Mali, where the parched landscape forms part of the Sahara desert. Their name means 'the knot, junction or coalition', a reference to the fact that the members hail from different regions, and 'Adagh' is another name for the Touareg, who are also referred to by their language, Tamashek.

"This is a band hoping music can unify and end suffering."
Given that, it was with great delight that I got the opportunity to see Tamikrest at Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) on their inaugural visit to the shores of Australia (and Tasmania in particular in this instance).
We had an hour and a half of some of the simplest yet most intricate music imaginable and a small but increasingly enthusiastic crowd was dancing and giving some of the widest smiles I’ve seen in a London gig.
The band's leader singer-songwriter and guitarist Ousmane Ag Mossa was only five years old when he first heard a Tinariwen song while living in a little village in the Sahara up in the north-east of Mali towards the Algerian border.
