Issouf, known as Issouf Derhane, was born in the peaceful village of Tidene almost a hundred kilometers northeast of Agadez. From a young age, Issouf was called by the desert winds, which carried him to Libya, a country where he grew up, forged by the trials and unique experiences of life. There, he witnessed the tumult of the civil war, an experience that sharpened his resolve and his understanding of peace.

In Libya, he discovered the guitar, an instrument which quickly became his refuge and his inner voice. Every note he played resonated like an echo from his soul, conveying tales of struggle, resilience and hope.

In 2015, when he finally returned to his country of origin, Niger, destiny had a decisive encounter in store for him. In Agadez, he met Mohamed, another guitar enthusiast. From their first exchanges, an unwavering connection was established between them, nourished by their shared love for music and their Tuareg heritage. Together, they founded the group "Derhane", quickly recognized as an essential pillar of the music scene.
