Created in 2014 in Marseilles, BIBI AHMED 4TET gathers two members of Group Inerane (Agadez, Niger) - guitarist Bibi Ahmed and his fellow Ikali Adam - and two Marseilles-based musicians, drummer Ahmad Compaoré and bass player Aurélien Arnoux. With an authentic view to explore their respective musical backgrounds, they deliver a unique blend of rock, blues, folk and Tuareg tradition, amplified by electric guitars with psychedelic overtones that make it unrivalled. At the crossroads of contemporary and traditional music, a hypnotic blues like an antithesis to formatted "world music".

Bibi Ahmed: electric guitar, voice / Ikali Adam: electric guitar, voice / Ahmad Compaoré: drums / Aurélien Arnoux: electric bass.
