Desert blues! In the 90s, a lot of Tuareg musicians living in the western part of the Sahara, especially some that met while serving in the Libyan army or fighting in the 1990 rebellion in Mali, started combining Western blues and rock music with their own folk music. This has turned into a full-fledged genre of its own which I think anyone keen on guitar-based music has a good chance of enjoying. Here’s Tamikrest playing a set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maXW66vz26g

Would Songhoy Blues fit this category? They’re excellent.
Will check out Tamikrest when I get a chance.
I’m certainly not about to say they don’t count just because they’re not Tuareg. The riff in Soubour is so god damn cool
