Eric John Kaiser met Tisdass, a Tuareg artist from the Sahara desert, in Portland Oregon in April 2014. A friendship was born. Before Tisdass left the West Coast to go back to West Africa, they recorded this "mini" album together. "Eric John Kaiser a rencontré Tisdass, musicien Touareg à Portland, Oregon, USA en Avril 2014. Une amitié est née. Avant que Tisdass reparte pour le Sahara, ils ont enregistrés trois titres ensemble" Eric John Kaiser's Bio: Since 2006, when French native, Eric John Kaiser, has moved from Paris to Portland (Oregon) he has logged every year close to 10,000 miles via air, land and sea. Exploring North America on multiple lengthy tours, he has gigged his way up through Canada and down through the South, as far as New Orleans and Washington D.C., where he performed as an “Artist in Residence” for the Smithsonian Museum. Sometimes driving his trusty Subaru under the wide Montana sky, sometimes riding the subway under the New York City canyons... Then jetting across the Atlantic to tour through France... His music has logged as many miles and picked up accents from across the American landscape: his latest songs resonate now with a very American rhythm, like bouncing across the vast plains on horseback… some western lap steel guitar... some dirty roadhouse blues… Tisdass' Bio: Tisdass means "pillar" in Tamacheq (the Tuareg language). After touring the world with the Tuareg Rock Star "Bombino", he decided to pursue a solo career. He is one of the upcoming Tuareg singer songwriters from Niger Guitar and vocals: Kildjate Moussa Albadié and Eric John Kaiser Calabass: Simon Yugler Recorded and mixed at Type Foundry Studio in Portland by Jason Powers Mastered by Josh Powell Artwork: Tiny Little Hammers Picture: Cheerful Torture
