Daily Discovery: Hamida Ag Fano – Abriditran, Sur la Route des Étoiles

“Abriditran, Sur la Route des Étoiles” by Hamida Ag Fano and his band Kel Adagh, captures desert life under the glow of starlight and moonlight. The song and its video explore the profound bond the Tuareg people share with the night sky, essential for their navigation across the Sahara.

The video beautifully combines tradition with the natural desert landscape, underscoring the timeless link between the Tuareg way of life and the celestial sphere.

Originating from Kidal, Hamida draws deeply from his nomadic roots, where endless skies and perpetual movement have deeply influenced his music and identity. Alongside Franco-Tunisian drummer, percussionist and producer Mani Boulabi, Hamida incorporates traditional Tuareg music with elements from broader musical landscapes, aiming to reflect the spirit and challenges of the Tuareg communities.
