Ténéré

The Finnish part of this song was born in the back seat of a red van in Western Sahara when I was traveling by car from Finland to Gambia in 2017. The Tamasheq part was born in 2019 in Bamako when Ahmed and I started to pl the song together. Ahmed is from Kidal, North Mali and Ténéré means the part of the Sahara where Ahmed lives.The desert is a state of mind. In this song Ahmed and I share our experiences of the Sahara. To the healing wind which waves my hair. “Wind bring me home when my time is gone"
