In this episode, Cheija presents an interview with the malian-algerian musician Kader Tarhanine. You will also hear excerpts from his concert at the Pod’ring Festival on July 12, 2025. The quality is not the best, as the recording were taken with a simple microphone.

Kader Tarhanine is an important artist in modern Tuareg music and has become one of the most acclaimed artists in the Sahara. His music is inspired by the rich repertoire of the Sahel-Sahara region (Mali-Niger-Algeria) where he grew up. Kader combines traditional rhythms with rock sounds and poetic Sahelian and Arabic lyrics. He has crossed the Sahara several times to perform and live on both sides of the Sahara. His collaboration on stage or in the studio with some of Mali’s best artists, such as Fatoumata Diawara and Sidiki Diabaté, has made him an ambassador of peace between the northern and southern regions of Mali, which have long been torn apart by political and ethnic conflicts.
