Konzert: TisDass

In the organizer's words:

Tisdass is the band of singer-guitarist Moussa Kildjate Albadé. The group is based in Niamey and originally comes from Tchintabaraden, a symbolic city for the Tamasheq-Kel in Niger. TisDass means "pillar" in Tamasheq and refers to the supporting pillars of traditional Berber tents. The name reflects the group's connection to a culture that they want to preserve and promote with the power of their music.

Houmaïssa - the album: Bolingo Art (Distribution: Inouïe Distribution)
Houmaïssa is the name of a Tuareg symbol worn exclusively by women. With this new album, TisDass pays tribute to women - the pillars of the family in Tuareg society.
Even though the tempo has picked up overall, the acoustic tracks Tara (Love) and Itag Aguen (There's a lot going on) remain trademarks of the music of the Sahel. The other tracks take the 180-degree rock course desired by the band and experienced on stage. The themes of the songs remain true to the demands and hopes of the Tuareg people - the desire to live in peace(Taflist (trust), Derhan (hope), Ikewagne (root)).

The desire for a third album arose when the current formation presented the album Amanar (Bolingo Art), which was recorded in 2019 and released in 2021 (Inouïe Distribution), live. Since then, TisDass ' music has become much more rocking, with more danceable tracks thanks to the contribution of rhythm guitarist Mouhamed Khamed Assalerh, faster drums from young Issoufou Dan Nana Ichaya and more groove from experienced bassist Bouba Hamidine Souleymane - not to mention the omnipresent background vocals and clapping rhythms.
