Abacabok CD (2006)
Tartit discography As others have overtaken them, it's easy to forget that Tartit were pioneers among the new generation of desert blues ensembles. But there's a grave celebration in their mostly acoustic sound that's so thoroughly rooted in both place and tradition, with singers backed largely just by drums and handclaps, with a one-string fiddle and three-string lute for melody. This is what they offer on the opener, "Tabey Tarate," with male and female voices trading off in call and response over the rhythm. Abacabok sounds wonderfully spontaneous, as if they'd sat down with the producer and suddenly decided to make the record on the spot, drafting in occasional guests to offer change-ups, as electric guitar and bass do on "Ansari," where the electricity brings them very close to Tinariwen. But that seems like a commercial concession; it's when they're most stripped-down that they shine brightest. Even a luminary like Afel Bocoum doesn't do anything to enhance the purity of their sound. It might seem too stark for some ears, but there's genuine beauty here. ~ Chris Nickson

Festival in the Desert CD (2003)
Tartit albums It's the unlikeliest place to imagine a festival, in the Sahara, not far from the Malian town of Timbuktu. But that's the home of the Festival in the Desert, which celebrated its third anniversary in 2003. While it attracts international talent, the real focus is on artists who make their homes ...

Sweet Liberty CD (2004)
Tartit music CDs Every song on Susan McKeown's album Sweet Liberty is credited to "Traditional" as author, which is frequently the case with her recordings. But McKeown's approach to this material, which she has gathered from friends and from old books and recordings (as recounted in her notes), is often anything but traditional. "Oró Mhíle Grá (A Thousand Times My Love)" is a collaboration with Ensemble Tartit, a singing group from Mali, and its combination of Celtic and African elements makes for a stirring hybrid. ...

 Tartit Biography
Tartit discography Though the nine members of Artist hail from central Mali, they are members of the fiercely independent Tuareg peoples of the Western Sahara and the music that they play--a hypnotic, fiercely repetitive brand of desert blues punctuated by ecstatic wails and staccato handclaps--bears little resemblance to the more mannered, Manding style of music prevalent in Southern Mali.
