Tikoubaouine
The Saharan Tradition with the Rhythms of the Modern World
Organised by the Embassy of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria
The Algerian-Tuareg group Tikoubaouine was formed in 2013 in the town of In Salah. Their music blends Tuareg traditions—singing in the Tamasheq language and Saharan rhythms—with modern musical elements such as guitar, bass, drums, and percussion. Their sound expresses the spirit of nomadic life in the desert, carrying messages of peace, love, and brotherhood.
The band defines itself as a guardian of memory, preserving and transmitting Tuareg cultural heritage through music.
Line-up:
Saïd Benkhira – vocals, guitar
Nazim Bakour– guitar
Hichem Omari– bass guitar
Djaber Asserir – percussion (djembe, backing vocals)
Hassane Khoualef – drums
