Immerse Yourself in the Desert Blues at Kuhsee
The Water and Sound Festival promises to be one of the most exhilarating highlights of July, set against the picturesque backdrop of Kuhsee, a site renowned for its abundant water resources. On Friday, July 24, starting at 8 PM, this year’s festival will showcase the captivating performances of Daraa Tribes from Morocco alongside the talented Moroccan-Brazilian singer Lala Tamar. Often categorized under the genre of Desert or Sahara Blues, Daraa Tribes is known for its unique fusion of musical styles, weaving together elements of Gnawa, Sahraoui, Amazigh, Regada, and Ikaaba with the resonant beats of blues and rock. The music is further enriched by vocals in Darija, Hassani, and Tamazight, all underscored by dynamic percussion that brings the audience to life.
Joining Daraa Tribes on stage is Lala Tamar, a remarkable singer, songwriter, poet, and guimbri player who breathes new life into the musical heritage of Jewish Moroccan women while maintaining a distinctly contemporary flair. Her performances feature a rich tapestry of languages including Haketía, Arabic (Darija), Amazigh, Portuguese, and Hebrew, blending North African rhythms with Brazilian grooves, pop influences, and spontaneous improvisations. The evening will also feature a supporting act from Picky Eater, a distinctive young rock band from Augsburg, who will take the stage at 6:30 PM, showcasing their eclectic mix of grunge, jazzy riffs, and glam rock infused with art rock nuances.
