The second collaboration between the Berlin based groove-outfit Onom Agemo and the Malian guitarist, singer, and songwriter Ahmed Ag Kaedy. After the successful release of their first project, a 7" single titled Onin Okalan in 2017, they are now presenting a full album which they recorded in Berlin and Bamako between 2018 and 2020. The title Tartit roughly translates to unity, as it unifies not only funk psychedelica with desert blues, but also unites musicians whose backgrounds are as different as can be, but whose musical tastes are surprisingly in tune. Music and lyrics written by Ahmed Ag Kaedy, arranged by Onom Agemo and the Disco Jumpers. Credits: Ahmed Ag Kaedy - guitar, vocals, composition; Johannes Schleiermacher - sax, flute, synthesizers; Kalle Zeier - guitar; Jörg Hochapfel - organ, synthesizers; Kalle Enkelmann - bass; Mahalmadane Traore - drums (Medin, Tanakra, Kidal); Bernd Oezsevim - drums (At Oui Tass, Alghafiat, Mani Mani). Produced, recorded and mixed by Kalle Enkelmann and Johannes Schleiermacher except "Alghafiat": recorded and mixed by Milan Marti. Mastered by Kelly Hibbert.
