Beautiful folk / world music from a band formed during 1982 in Moammar al-Qadhafi's camps of Tuareg rebels. I hear a definite blues influence. The music is sung in French and Tamashek and often covers political topics such as liberation from the Mali government.

come get some funk - amazing guitar player - Nigerian born Keziah Jones describes his musical style as “Blufunk”, which is a fusion between raw blues elements and hard, edgy funk rhythms. Also his African roots and soul music can be considered a major influence on his sound. -Wikipedia
