M'Berra Ensemble

Malian Tuareg Fusion Collective

M'Berra Ensemble is a musical collective that brings together Malian musicians and the Italian electronic artist Khalab. The ensemble's work is a fusion of traditional Malian sounds with electronic music, creating a unique blend that reflects both the heritage of the Malian musicians and the contemporary influences of electronic soundscapes. The project was born out of a collaboration in the M'berra refugee camp in southeastern Mauritania, where displaced Tuareg and other Sahelian communities have sought refuge due to conflict in the region. The music of M'Berra Ensemble is characterized by its poignant storytelling, cultural richness, and innovative approach to blending genres. Their work not only serves as an artistic endeavor but also as a means to raise awareness about the plight of refugees and the importance of cultural preservation amidst crisis.
