{"product_id":"takaat-is-noise-vol-2","title":"TAKAAT - Is Noise, Vol. 2","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eTinariwen are the grandfathers of what we know today as Taureg guitar music. Started in refugee camps in Algeria and Libya in 1979, Tinariwen created a new sound of Taureg music that pushed the tradition into a new direction. Ahmoudou, Souleymane, and I all came to Tinariwen in different ways throughout our life and there is no doubt the importance the music has on all three of us. Just as much as Tinariwen pushed what Tuareg music is, that was the idea with TAKAAT is, to push the tradition even further, create something new, create something fresh that blends our love for bands like Tinariwen but also our love of heavier more chaotic bands. Is Noise Vol. 2 includes the TAKAAT versions of a couple of our favorite Tinariwen tunes. Unlike the original Tinariwen versions, these songs are unedited shredding jams recorded live to tape in Washington D.C. This is raw, this is noisy, this is TAKAAT.\u003cbr\u003e-Mikey Coltun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Damn, that's very good.' - Ahmoudou Madassane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTAKAAT (pronounced tuh-cot), meaning “noise” in the Tuareg language Tamashek, is the trio of Ahmoudou Madassane, Mikey Coltun, and Souleymane Ibrahim, also known as the rhythm section of Mdou Moctar. TAKAAT is sonic chaos, improvisation, freedom of exploration, and the punk styles of bands such as Fugazi and Unwound, all mixed together with the guitar music from the Sahel.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003ecredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased August 8, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAhmoudou Madassane: Guitar, Vocals\u003cbr\u003eMikey Coltun: Bass, Electronics\u003cbr\u003eSouleymane Ibrahim: Drums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsuf D Alwa written by Ibrahim Ag Alhabib\u003cbr\u003eTiwayyen written by Ibrahim Ag Alhabib \u0026amp; Eyadou Ag Leche\u003cbr\u003eAll songs arranged by TAKAAT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded, Mixed and Produced by Mikey Coltun at Purplish\/Bossa Studios\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhotography by Amghy Chacon + Cem Misirlioglu\u003cbr\u003eCover Design: Can Misirlioglu + Cylndr Studios\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=711854627\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Purplish","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":48258464940251,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/a3563895451_16.jpg?v=1771005349","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/takaat-is-noise-vol-2","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
