Tarwa N-Tiniri

Tarwa N-Tiniri is a five-piece Amazigh desert-blues band formed in 2012 in Ouarzazate, southeastern Morocco, by childhood friends rooted in their Amazigh heritage. Their name joins tarwa (generation) and n-tiniri (of the desert), reflecting the landscapes and nomadic traditions that shaped them. Self-taught, they blend Amazigh and North African melodies with blues, reggae, rock, jazz, and Gnawa music, singing about identity, friendship, and the desire for peace. They released the albums Azizdeg (2019) and Akal (2024), and have toured internationally from Jerusalem to Belgium.
