Tenkabrane cave painting
The music and poetry of the Tuareg world carry with
them one of the oldest traditions of humanity. The history of the inhabitants of South Saharan goes back, it is true, to prehistory. The presence of humans is evidenced by the presence of rock art, cultural remains and funeral sites (mounds).
In Tenkabrane, not far from Tamanrasset, cave paintings dating from 1000 BC represent musicians with a fiddle in their hands.
