Tamikrest

**Iconic Saharan blues legends Tamikrest, bring the powerful voice of the Kel Tamasheq people to our stage.**

Formed on the border of Algeria and Mali in 2006, Tamikrest quickly developed a reputation for their **sharp melodies** and **deeply political songwriting**.

The award winning *Chatma*—dedicated to the struggles of women in the Sahara—was hailed as a major work of the Ishumar genre. Since then, Tamikrest has further asserted their deep Tamasheq roots, fusing traditional music with the raw energy of rock.

Catch their unfiltered passion at the beating heart of London's music scene.
