Harappian Night Recordings

Harappian Night Recordings provides working cover for Sayed Kamran Ali, a UK-based artist with connections to the whole Hunter Gracchus/Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides cabal.

Terakaft

Terakaft is a gang of guitarists, in the same vein as Tinariwen. Nothing astonishing about that if you consider that Terakaft was founded by Kedou and Diara, two formative and historical guitarists from Tinariwen. Moreover Kedou accompanied Tinariwen to the very first Festival with the Desert by Chock-Essako in January 2001, and contributes four songs on their first album The Radio Tisdas Sessions.
