Saharan desert rock quintet Tamikrest is "advocating for both unity and diversity in wonderfully dulcet tones" on their newest album 'Tamotaït', PopMatters argues. "Their music here has sonic overtones of hope, resilience, and reflection", PM adds, while withholding "the substance and soul, the meaning, the skill, the familiarity of rock and roll meshed with the distinct vocal timbres and melodic lines that have since become iconic of Kel Tamasheq life".
