Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Daraa Tribes summon the desert with polyrhythmic drums, call-and-response chants, and bluesy Saharan strings. Rooted in the traditions and histories of Tagounite’s oasis tribes, they sing in Darija, Tamazight, and Hassani, stirring the room to communal rapture. A standout FFO: Imarhan, Tamikrest, Tinariwen."

DARAA TRIBES
- is a Moroccan desert music group originating from the oasis city of Tagounite in the Daraa River Valley in Morocco. Each of its members is from a different tribe and brings different musical traditions with them. It's a mix of traditional tribal music and Sahara blues. A style was created, as it can only be found in the oases of the North African Sahara: Gnawa rhythms, Saharaui, Amazigh, Regada and Ikaaba. They offer a tribal fusion with a touch of blues and rock, eclectic sounds, percussion and vocals, the Darija, Hassani and Tamazight. This reflects a multilingual and multi-ethnic expression.

He spent a decade travelling throughout Morocco, studying the diverse regional musical traditions under some of the leading musicians in the country, becoming especially passionate about the three-stringed Gnawa bass lute, the Guembri, before launching his international career.
