But the results confirm the efficacy of musical crossover: the heavy, stoner-rock groove and stinging guitar of “Europa”, about Harouna’s decade of exile from his homeland, embodies that exile in European modes while the undulating, spiky polyrhythms of “Assoufenam” sounds like some Beefheartian oddity from Trout Mask Replica, bulging with disciplined joy.
It’s hardly surprising that, as a combo congregated in Brussels around Saharan musician Anana Harouna, Kel Assouf should have reached a deeper compromise with Western music than most Tuareg desert-blues outfits. Download this: Assoufenam Europa Ahile Lamma Tikounen
