‘Jagwar’, the latest release by Terakaft on Marseille label/radio station Secousse, is both a new single and a celebration of the band’s history. It combines a 7″ record of a new song (backed with a special acoustic version) and a book by Philippe Brix, the band’s tour manager for the last two decades. Ultimately, the package is a “coming-of-age story,” as the album notes put it, “a tale of resilience, of doom, of family, of utmost tensions and unrivaled peace, the adventure of a life time.” Saharan cowboy music which understands the persistent power of the guitar. “A Kalashnikov has thirty bullets in a magazine; once you’ve emptied it, it’s over,” Diara says. “A guitar has no limits.”
