Tinariwen

[Comrade BNS]

Wondering if anyone else has heard of or likes Tinariwen the Toureg band from Mali? I just got their new cd Amassakoul and I love it.

If you haven't heard them or are interested google Tinariwen and there are a heap of sites with info on them. (sorry I can't remember any off hand, and as far as I know they don't have an official homepage)

You'll be intersted in the latest copy of Mojo Magazine it has John Lennon on the cover and a big write up on Tinariwen music including Tinariwen Rock, pretty cool as a novelty but I don't see any new ground being broken. Listen to Devendra Banhart is my advice to everyone he'll change your life.

Ok thanks for that. With the rise of artists such as Ali Farka Toure and Habib Koite, Tinariwen may sound very un-original. However they did start this musical revolution over 25 years ago.
