Noura Mint Seymali
A nationally beloved star in Mauritania, Noura Mint Seymali creates a mesmerizing tension between ancient traditions and contemporary idioms. She merges her powerful griot voice with the desert-blues guitar lines created by her husband, Jeiche Ould Chighaly. They are backed by a declarative, funk-driven rhythm section with traditional instruments at its core--ardine (harp), tidinit (lute), and tÃ�Âbeul (bowl drum), along with western bass and drums.
