Nun ist die Tour ins Münsterland schon wieder Vergangenheit. Die Auf ins Land Tour hat mich an interessante Orte gebracht. Ich habe tolle Menschen, die Münsterländer Gastfreundschaft kennengelernt, jede Menge leckeren Zwetschenkuchen verdrückt, alte Burgen besucht und Naturgedichte gelesen. Ich habe mit engagierten Menschen Musik gemacht und von meiner Kultur gesprochen. ich habe den Stallschweinen in Steinfurt "Guten Tag" gesagt und in Senden hinterm Stall Musik gemacht. Ich habe viel gelernt, viel erzählt und in Camphill mit begeisterten Menschen musiziert. War eine tolle Wanderung durchs Münsterland. Dank an alle, die dieses Projekt unterstützt haben: Neben den Mittelgebern, den Gastgebern, Veranstaltern, Hoteliers wie die vom "Venner Moor") und natürlich besonders Werner, Claudia, Sandra, Peter, Robby, Johannes und Coco.



Now the tour to the Münsterland is already finished. The "Auf ins Land Tour" took me to interestimg places. I got to know great people experienced Münsterland's hospitality, enjoyed "Zwetschenkuchen" visited old castles and read poems about nature. I made music with committed people and spoke about my culture. I said hello to the stable pigs in Steinfurt and made music behind the stable in Senden. I learned a lot, exchanged a lot and made music with enthusiastic people in Camphill. It was a great hike through the Münsterland.

Thanks to all of you who have supported the "Auf ins Land" walking tour! The hosts, the promoters, the hotel owners (as from "Venner Moor") and especially Werner, Claudia, Sandra, Peter, Robby, Johannes and Coco.

Nine years after "Osas-it´s time!" and six years after "Afropentatonism", TIMCHAR bursts onto the scene with a fully reimagined sonic identity. The encounter with ANEWAL’s childhood hero, Sam Fan Thomas, ignited a musical spark that opened a completely new dimension for the experienced desert blues man:  Desert Blues collides with Makossa—raw, vibrant, and unlike anything heard before. This is the story behind the sound.

“I remember watching Sam on Niger public TV, in black and white, and we all wanted to dance like him,” ANEWAL says. That memory became collaboration. Recorded at Studio Makassi, TIMCHAR blends ANEWAL’s grainy vocal, cyclical guitar lines and intimate performance with Sam Fan Thomas’s production and guest vocals. Additional sessions in Berlin with Tunde Agonglo extend the album’s human scale across continents.

The title TIMCHAR means “things that have gone.” Dedicated to ANEWAL’s mother and to the transmission of Tamashek culture, the album treats memory as something alive — moving through new rooms, new relationships and new rhythm.

“Desert blues has always been about connection,” ANEWAL reflects. “With Sam Fan Thomas, I found a new way to carry my story forward.”

TIMCHAR continues Alhousseini’s long tradition of creative encounters — from Etran Finatawa to collaborations with Guy Buttery, Huun Huur Tu and Girum Mezmur — opening yet another chapter in a career defined by innovation, exchange and deep cultural roots.
