Luke Lucas - I'm not really sure how to classify this blog but I hope to share with you a few of things that I find interesting, amusing and inspiring. As an editor and head designer of the Lifelounge family, I'm semi obsessed with all things type, design and art but also have a keen interest in music, magazines, food, skating, sex and scandal. Enjoy.

Desert Rock With Native Roots May 24, 2008 at 09:58
Toumast songwriter and guitarist Moussa Ag Keyna and his female cousin Aminatou Goumar formed the group in France around the 1990's. Moussa was wounded while fighting in the desert during the late-80s/early-90s uprising against the governments of Mali and Niger.
In 1995, he got word that 12 of his comrades in arms had been assassinated, thats one of the reason he moved to France and gave up fighting and wanted to further his cause through his music.Toumast mostly performs during night festivities in shantytowns,I'm super stoked they are coming to the states starting Sep  16, 2008.
