Mdou Moctar - Imouhar (Official Music Video)

Imouhar is the Tuareg equivalent to "brother" or "comrade.” It’s a familial way to say “Tuareg people” that expresses a shared bond. 

Mdou Moctar - Imouhar

Imouhar, you know this indeed we have a written history Written in books and the whole world knows it Written in books and the whole world knows it Imouhar, Imouhar wherever you are, you are Tuareg Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride Imouhar why are you abandoning your language, Tamasheq? You stopped speaking it You stopped writing it You stopped speaking it You stopped writing it Imouhar, Imouhar this shames us, we must confess Waking up one day our kids can’t speak Tamasheq They can’t speak Tamasheq nor write it Imouhar, Imouhar wherever you are, you are Tuareg Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride Turbans and camels, symbols of our legacy and pride
