Toumast is a prime example of Bedouin Blues, music made by nomads in the African Sahara. The music has eerie similarities to American blues – repetitive guitar lines with bent “blue” notes and a swung tempo – despite being a clearly African form. The Touareg are a dispossessed people, and the depth of emotion here parallels the weep and moan of more familiar blues.
