TASUTA N-IMAL

The group Tasuta N-Imal, which means "future generation" in the Amazigh language, aims to transpose into music the history, values and traditions of the nomadic mountain dwellers and sedentary groups of the southeastern Anti-Atlas in Morocco. Originally from the small village of Slilou located in the town of Boumalne Dades between Tinghir and Ouarzazate, the group's mission is to preserve the rich heritage of this region and to transmit it to future generations and the world through music, hence the name "future generation". Today, Tasuta N-Imal carries the torch of this music, but a generation will come and carry it in turn, so that the march for the preservation of heritage and culture continues. Tasuta N-Imal is a sixmember group that instills in its music the values of solidarity, love, and peace that characterize the region from which they come. They form a true musical family and are anchored around a common goal. The musical repertoire of the group is inspired by a diverse heritage (Ahidus, Ahwash, Izlan n Tyerza, Tizrarin, Timnadin, Tagnawit, etc.) of the South East Anti Atlas region, inviting several styles from around the world such as rock&roll, blues, pop or even desert rock. Linking tradition and modernity, the group targets a wide audience. The lyrics of their songs are sung in a style that pays tribute to the musical tradition of the region and offers a deep look into the history of the nomads, the mountain people and the sedentary groups of the region, their current challenges and their timeless values. The formation of the group began in 2008 with just two members, before the reunion of all current members in early 2014, and with it, the group's true artistic career begins. "The most important achievement we have made so far, after meeting the band members which I consider a difficult and challenging issue- is creating a human connection with our family who listen to the band's music from all over the world" Ismail TASUTA.
