Play on hypersongs

One of the few early Tamikrest songs not written by Ousmane Ag Mossa: the sleeve credits it to Mahmoud Ag Ahmouden, who also sings and plays guitar on it, as he does on Tidit later on the album. It was recorded at Studio Bogolan in Bamako in October 2010, with Chris Eckman producing and mixing.

Nigel Williamson in Songlines picked it out as the album's Afro-funk track, one of the turns that showed how widely Toumastin ranged, alongside the dub of Nak Amadjar Nidounia and the folk-rock of Addektegh. The upload in the hypersongs web is the official label upload of the album track.
