Thamghalt means woman in tamazight, one of the most spoken Amazigh languages in North Africa.
Built on the basis of an amazigh lullaby, this music is a tribute to women, to Amazigh femininity.
The image of this sound is an Amazigh woman from Algeria photographed by the orientalist Rudolf Lehnert, a photo that covers Lehnert & Landrock’s famous book 'Orient 1904 – 1930'.
The photographer’s approach remains very questionable in fact, in a colonial context, he contributed to the imaginary of an 'oriental fantasy'. One can also criticize the exploitation of the image of models for commercial, political and identity purposes.
