Les Filles de Illighadad

Drmies:


'''Les Filles de Illighadad''' are a [[Tuareg people|Tuareg]] band founded by Fatou Seidi Ghali in [[Illighadad]], a village in the [[Sahara Desert]] in [[Niger]]. Ghani, it is claimed, is the first Tuareg woman to play guitar professionally.<ref name=davies>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

Ghani taught herself to play on her brother's guitar; while women did perform music among her people, they didn't play guitar; rather, they played a style of music called ''tende'', centered on a drum made with mortar and pestles, a style that influenced Tuareg guitar playing but isn't generally part of the music played by Tuareg men. Les Filles de Illighadad incorporate tende with guitar playing, "asserting the power of women to innovate using the roots of traditional Tuareg music".<ref></ref>
