Terakaft is a group of Tuareg guitarists, who perform in the same vein as Tinariwen. There’s nothing astonishing about the similarity when you consider that Terakaft was founded by Kedou and is now led by Diara, both of whom were formative members of Tinariwen.
Kedou, a celebrity in his own land thanks to his part in the history of the rebellion and also to his songs founded Terakaft in 2001 with a very young Sanou. Later, they teamed up with Diara, formerly one of Tinariwen’s dynamic guitarists, who is also Sanou’s uncle. Diara is also the brother of Intiyeden who died in 1994, and who was also a co-founder of Tinariwen with Ibrahim Abaraybone.
After performing on Terakaft’s first two albums (Bismilla in 2007 and Akh Issudar in 2008), Kedou left the band in 2008. Terakaft is now led by Diara and supported by three young musicians: Sanou (guitars, vocals), Abdallah (bass, guitars, vocals) and Mahamad (percussions, vocals).
