SUMMARY:Khaira Arby
DESCRIPTION:Khaira Arby mesmerizes audiences with an intensity that flows f
 rom her home and from her unique spirit. Born in a village not far from the
  famed city of Timbuktu\, Arby is firmly planted in the desert sand. Her cr
 eativity flows in part from the people of her home region of Northern Mali—
 the young musicians in her band all hail from Timbuktu—and from their past 
 and present struggles. Arby’s most recent album\, Timbuktu Tarab\, shifts s
 eamlessly between the edgy and progressive and the traditional and deeply r
 ooted. Inspired by her cousin Ali Farka Toure\, Arby turns to her mixed Ber
 ber and Sonrhai roots and draws on a sweet mixture of desert blues and reco
 rding sophistication\, blending ripping electric guitar with the forefather
  of the banjo and funky drum breaks with the traditional percussion of the 
 scraper and the calabash.
