Sahraoui - Amar Sundy

The blues have been brought to France by singer/guitarist Amar Sundy. Affectionately known as "the bluesman of the desert," Sundy masterfully combines American blues, traditional French music, and music from the Sahara to create what Blues Sur Seine called "one of the most beautiful successes of inbreeding and a new path for the blues." A native of Tuareg, Sundy honed his craft as a busker in the Parisian subways.
