Desert Blues is a genre of music that originated in the Sahara Desert region of North Africa. It is a mix of traditional African music, blues, and rock. It is characterized by its slow, hypnotic rhythms, and its use of traditional instruments such as the karkabou (a type of drum), the guembri (a three-stringed lute), and the tidinit (a single-stringed lute). The lyrics often focus on themes of love, loss, and longing.
