Experience Local Culture
We like to welcome you to our festival. During the last 7 editons we have learned and grow together as a team and with the community. We are so happy to celebrate and to revive the "Moussem" from the early days when the caravans were still travelling from M'hamid to Timbuktu. The role of the caravan was not only trade but also a unique opportunity for cultural exchange.
The 8th Edition of Taragalte
This years festival will specially celebrate the resilience of the women of the Sahara and Africa. We will update this page soon with more background information about the theme of this year.
Get Connected
Taragalte means ‘meeting place’, a festival to meet and connect with local and international people who share the love of music, art & culture. Our artists mix with the crowd which gives the festival a unique atmosphere of sharing and connecting. Take a walk through the nomadic camp and learn from locals all about nomadic culture, participate in a workshop or dance with us into the night. Actually, we are one big family!
Caravan of Peace
In the spirit of cultural cooperation, Taragalte welcomes the 4 th ‘Cultural Caravan for Peace’ and dedicates a special night to peace and stability in the Sub Saharan region. The Cultural Caravan for Peace is a creative Trans-Saharan Sahel project, supporting dialogue, cultural exchanges and social cohesion in the Sahel and Sahara regions. Through music and art, the Caravan will provide the people of the Sahara and the Sahel region a platform to meet, exchange ideas in order to promote and preserve the cultural heritage.
