    Over accessible grooves derived from the same source used by groups like Tinariwen and Terakaft, Brahim sings with an easy tone that coils her passion into a tight spring, rather than shoot it out of a cannon.

    While sonically the music does not possess the 'hard' edge of neighbouring Tuareg rock groups, there is a great fluidity in which the desert groove unfolds over spiralling guitar riffs and propulsive rhythms.

    It’s a buoyant sound--Brahim’s voice is too airy for drones and chants--led by rolling pieces such as Calles de Dajla and followed by slow, contemplative blues.
