Tzenni

'​Tzenni' is a contemporary articulation of Moorish griot music from Mauritania-an artform that has been evolving and gaining momentum for centuries-as voiced by Noura Mint Seymali, an artist profoundly steeped in its history and rigorously devoted to its global resonance.  "It's the voice that floors you; a powerful, agile alto which dances around the modes with virtuosic invention and soars on the long notes ... Tzenni fizzes with heady electrified tinidit (lute) and urgent grooves from a rhythm section steeped in rock, funk and reggae ... Psychedelic roots music for the 21st century, Tzenni deserves to make Seymali a global star." 5***** The List
