Ghali, it is claimed, is the first Tuareg woman to play guitar professionally. Footage from: "A Story of Sahel Sounds." LYRICS: I prefer death or embers stuck to my heart or that my soul will be torn apart that it will be said in my community that I committed adultery. My best friend among women, She went in the bush one night to meet a man One day she started to scream at night She wears her gold and she detaches her jewelry She is sick with shame. But I also saw the metamorphosis of the desert, I saw a beautiful woman married to a broken man. Her hand is in his hand and she walks through the community She has a yellow skin that protects her from the wind The whiteness of her teeth are bright. I prefer death or embers stuck to my heart or that my soul will be torn apart. ++++++++ Nak assofa ibah maday shimakaten iltaghnen tassanin, imanin tizalaben adikal dagh orchan As nak egharaben Adar n tamiditin dagh tadoden Afawtadou trigrag adawane tikan uragh net takass shizabaten takass shizabaten n tifasu shinitain Michan nak inaya imatti n ténéré Inaya akhshoud n tallillite ittaf awunan titaf afouss net tallil tamatay tarwak n ellam net adzimila titagaztu dagh adou timillay n echen net tikna aballizi Nak assofa ibah maday shimakaten iltaghnen tassanin, imanin tizalaben Les Filles de Illighadad on Bandcamp: http://lesfillesdeillighadad.bandcamp.com Les Filles de Illighadad on Instagram: http://instagram.com/lesfillesdeillighadad Les Filles de Illighadad website: https://sahelsounds.com/artists/les-filles-de-illighadad/
