Transsylvania Phoenix - Tuareg
Review by Zen City Momager
Tuareg, the latest album by Transsylvania Phoenix, is a mesmerizing musical journey that takes the listener on a sonic adventure through the deserts of North Africa. The album is a beautiful fusion of traditional Tuareg music and modern rock, creating a unique and captivating sound that is both exotic and familiar.
The album opens with "Tinariwen," a track that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The hypnotic rhythms and soaring guitar solos transport the listener to the vast and mystical landscape of the Sahara. The rest of the album follows suit, with each track building on the previous one to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Toumast," which features guest vocals from Tuareg musician Moussa Ag Keyna. The song is a powerful tribute to the resilience and strength of the Tuareg people, and the haunting vocals and driving percussion make it a standout track on the album.

About Transsylvania Phoenix
Phoenix was one of the most prominent Romanian Rock and Roll bands of the latest decades, and also the first one to take musical inspiration from ancient Romanian folk themes.
Formed in the 1960s, it began by doing covers of songs. However, they soon had to change their style since the Romanian communist regime disliked any form of western culture. The communist regime suggested that all rock oriented bands should look for inspiration within the Romanian culture. These restrictions made the band's leader Nicolae "Nicu" Covaci search within the Romanian folklore, which gave them a unique sound.

Asta e una din melodiile cu care adorm seara

Superba interpretare

imposibil sa apara drept compozitii ale lui Covaci. Balada este compusa de Ciprian Porumbescu,, iar Ciocarlia este din folclor.
