Palace of the Winds

In the sparsely populated and disputed territory of Western Sahara, south of Morocco, lives a band named Group Doueh. I came to discover them thanks to Group Inerane as they share the same music label of Sublime Frequencies, though they are not dissimilar to Group Inerane, they are not a Tuareg group. In fact, they are a family run entertainment business more so than a band, with Salmou Baamar (Doueh) on guitar, his wife on vocals and son on keyboards. They have released two albums with Sublime Frequencies and also star in a film entitled 'Palace of the Winds' by Hisham Mayet. Below is the trailer from that film, a live performance and my favourite Group Doueh song.
