Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Guitar Music From the Western Sahara' is a compilation of raw, energetic recordings by Group Doueh, a family band from Dakhla. Curated for an international archival release, the collection highlights Doueh's virtuosic, heavily amplified electric guitar playing, which blends traditional African melodies with the aggressive energy of rock and roll. The project brought the distinct, distorted sounds of desert rock to a much broader audience.
