Toumast
Toumast means 'Identity' and this band is all about independence, freedom and recognition of their identity. After the decolonization of Africa, the nomadic Tuaregs again were suppressed by regimes in Algeria, Libya, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. Toumast sings about the nostalgia of the nomadic life, love, the bitter taste of exile and the criticism of politics.
