"It’s the voice that floors you; a powerful, agile alto which dances around the modes with virtuosic invention and soars on the long notes ... Tzenni fizzes with heady electrified tinidit (lute) and urgent grooves from a rhythm section steeped in rock, funk and reggae ... Psychedelic roots music for the 21st century, Tzenni deserves to make Seymali a global star." ★★★★★
- The List (UK)

"Her style is distinct throughout, mixing as it does a scratchy, paranoid style of guitar with lazy but effective rhythms and Noura’s powerful evocative voice ... The style here is what draws you in and the scatty, freaked-out instrumentation soon becomes hypnotic."
- fRoots (UK)


Noura Mint Seymali comes from a long line of visionary musicians. Seymali Ould Ahmed Vall, her father, was a scholar-artist instrumental in opening Mauritanian music to the world; devising the first system for Moorish melodic notation, adapting music for the national anthem, and composing works popularized by his wife (Noura’s step-mother), the great Dimi Mint Abba. From her precocious beginnings as a teenaged backing vocalist with Dimi Mint Abba, Noura Mint Seymali now drives the legacy forward, re-calibrating Moorish music for our contemporary moment. Her band’s arrangements, rigor, and experimental spirit may be understood as a continuation of the tradition of Seymali, Dimi, her grandmother Mounina, and countless others.

Together with her husband, heroic guitarist Jeiche Ould Chighaly, who brings the force of yet another powerful branch of Moorish musical lineage, the band on this recording was conceived as a distillation of essential elements, the “azawan” and the backbeat. The ardine & tidinit (or guitar) together are the “azawan,” the leading ensemble of Moorish traditional music, while bass & drums, played here by Ousmane Touré and Matthew Tinari, fortify it with genre transcendent funk and a basic pop urgency. Tzenni re-visits several classics of the Moorish repertoire, but does so within a novel formation, conversant in the pop idiom, and with Noura Mint Seymali’s personal history interwoven throughout. The practice of aligning music to a given socio-historical and personal moment is an essential charge of the iggawen, or griot, and, we believe, of artists everywhere.

As we seek to convey another turn in the Mauritanian musical dialectic, Tzenni is ultimately an album about shape shifting, faith, and stability found through instability. It’s about taking the positive with the negative in a world that can only ever keep turning at break neck speed. We invite you to spin with us, to dance with us, through the music on this recording!

outside, you don't know why
tell each other in the middle of the night
talk about it like you really want to know 
what she running around for?

rat-tat the door unlatch
someone here to take you back
outside in the middle of the street
are you getting what you need?

thoughts of you 
running through my mind
open door but it doesn't feel right 
you look at me as if you know what it's like 
in the shadows of the streetlight

now i know 
I can't go back
you're with her and she doesn't deserve that
but when I look into your eyes
you see something I'm trying to hide 

thoughts of you 
running through my mind
open door but it doesn't feel right 
you look at me as if you know what it's like 
in the shadows of the streetlight
shadow, why's it a shame for me to love?

LYRICS
Before you came round my heart would never beat much faster
Before you came round I was ready to slow down
Before you came round I was heading for a small disaster
Before you came round I was ready to blow me down

Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

Before I was found I felt like I could drain the ocean
Before I was found I didn’t wanna breathe out
Now my soul beats a sound loud enough to quiet the thunder
A love with no doubt and now I’m never gonna slow down
Never gonna slow down

Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
