Kel Assouf?s musical journey has flowed seamlessly from the well-spring created by Ishumar desert rock pioneers Tinariwen - that frontman Anana Ag Haroun first encountered as a young musician in Niger - towards sonic horizons that include the rock classicism of groups like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Queens of the Stone Age and the club beats and astral ambiance of European electronic music. On Black Tenere, the band pushes these different textures and influences towards a persuasive, raw-edged crescendo. Black Tenere is a rock album. It's a choice to give a more original touch that builds up the identity of Kel Assouf and differentiates it from the other groups of Touareg music.
