Génération Taragalte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Génération Taragalte is a musical group from Morocco, formed in 2012, playing electric rock[1] and blues.[2]

The group's five founding members all hail from M’hamid El Ghizlane (in Zagora Province), a village whose main industry is tourism. The idea of making music in their own way came to them after they attended a concert by the Tuareg group Tinariwen in 2009, at the Festival Taragalte,[3][4] which is held annually in M'Hamid El Ghizlane.[5]

They returned to Festival Taragalte in 2018, as performers,[6] and they performed at Atlas Electronic that same year.[2]
