“Tarha” came about when Greatg Big Warm House invited Grammy nominated Tuareg artist Bombino into their space Villa Lala in Vienna to record. It’s a song about love, friendship and the desert but one doesn’t need to speak Tamasheq to feel the warmth and affection in the music. The intricate, fluid and energetic guitar work intertwines with the Bombino’s soft yet finely inflected vocals that rise above the rhythmic guitar leads and spare drones that serve as a narrative backdrop and emotional context to the music. It has the sound of tranquil journeys over sand to visit those closest to your heart and the yearning for that connection that gives you the peace of mind to endure the heat and exertion to reunite and share in the company of the people that help to fill your heart with meaning. Listen to “Tarha” on Spotify and follow Bombino at the links below.
