This musical odyssey is a tapestry of culture, tradition and heartfelt expression. The ensemble comprised of five self-taught musicians hails from the city of Ouarzazate in the southeastern region of Morocco. The name Tarwa translates to generation in the Amazigh language, while N-Tiniri is a nod to the desert, an awe-inspiring expanse that has shaped the lives and stories of countless generations. In the band's own words: "We are a generation that has the responsibility to perpetuate the culture and dignity of desert peoples."
