Meaning “things that have gone.” Dedicated to ANEWAL’s mother and to the transmission of Tamashek culture, the album looks at memory as something lived rather than sealed away: personal history enters new rooms, new relationships and new rhythm.
Alhousseini first reached international audiences through Etran Finatawa, and later through solo projects including Walking Man, Osas and Afropentatonism. Across these works, his music returns to identity, hospitality, peace and the possibility of exchange without erasing roots. TIMCHAR continues that line through a precise encounter between Niger, Douala and Berlin, a meeting shaped by reflection, time and the willingness to let new creative relationships transform the music.
After years of touring, Alhousseini chose to pause, listen and rebuild. The Douala residency with Sam Fan Thomas offered space for deep artistic dialogue, and TIMCHAR is the outstanding result: an album where desert blues meets Makassi, where memory becomes movement, and where a pioneer of the Sahel opens yet another door in a career defined by bold encounters. Produced by Sam Fan Thomas.
