Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

3. Khaira ArbyTimbuktu Tarab

Khaira Arby is one of the artists I listen to a lot when I’m travelling. I love her voice, she sings in different languages, in Tamachek, in Arabic, and she sings in praise of Islam and has a golden voice, that’s why I like her. I never get tired of it. I haven’t really taken any inspiration from her music but it just makes me happy listening to it.
