O surto de violência que eclodiu na semana passada na região de Tombuctu, no nordeste do Mali, apanhou de surpresa, e da pior maneira, muitos dos habitantes daquela região, que se têm vistos obrigados a abandonar em massa as suas casas. No meio do conflito estão os Tinariwen que deram hoje o seu testemunho da situação, via facebook: "Hi everyone. Soon after the uprising broke out last week,
In the desert you need plenty of water. There have been tales of Aborigines picking frogs from the sand with wooden sticks only to slake their thirst by squeezing the frog. Or who can forget those white travelers lost for days who imagined great rivers, lakes, and streams where there were none? In the movies a palm tree always appears just before the end. But there is no desert like the one of pain. And as with pain, in the desert you need no map as the sun rises in the east and folds in [...]
In their video for "Iswegh Attay," a song from their Tassili album, the members of the Touareg desert blues band Tinariwen sit around a well-lit cave, playing music and making a pot of tea. And that tea looks so good . No tea has ever looked better than that tea. Watch it below. Read More...

If you couldn't tell from our collection of photos last week, we've covered plenty of live shows over the year. That's why we felt it was unfair to peg one band as the best live act for 2011. It's all about perspective, really. And genre. There's an inordinate wealth of talent out on the road these days. From the arena downtown to the neighborhood bar around the corner, it's a spoil of riches in any metropolis. As the music industry evolves, you're going to see more and more artists in your local concert halls. While not [...]

Girls ::: photo by Josh Lovseth End of year lists give me the cold sweats. Much like when I was in college and finals were looming, I suddenly forget about everything that sparked in my mind, and all I'm left with is, "I don't know…when did River Deep, Mountain High come out? THAT COUNTS, RIGHT?" 2011 was [...]
We caught Tinariwen back in July on the North American leg of their tour at the Troubadour . - The dessert is jealous - TV On the Radio's Kyp Maloneshe soothes on "Tenere Taqqim Tossam." She gives and she takes. One of the best aspects of Tinariwen is that even if you can't understand a thing that they're saying you can't happen to feel connected to their powerful story telling ability. There are more commonalities between urban and Saharan life than one would imagine. They have experienced the human condition; whether [...]

Tinariwen played Colbert Report last night and laid down the drone-y groove of "Imidiwan Ma Tenam." It's great to see these guys getting some TV love.

UK music magazine Uncut weighs on this year's best albums. Like Rough Trade , they give Josh T Pearson serious placement. They put Tinariwen , who appeared on The Colbert Report last night (!) with Tunde and Kyp from TV on the Radio, at #18. Check out their whole list and video from Colbert, below...

Leave it to Stephen Colbert to bring a crowd together - an eclectic one at that, too. Last night, Malian collective Tinariwen came "to rock the gourd" and also sat down to talk shop with Colbert. Although Ibrahim Ag Alhabib and Eyadou Ag Leche had to use a translator (named Lola) to connect with the Comedy Central goldmine, they did have support from recent collaborators Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio. In fact, both Adebimpe and Malone joined them on a performance of "Tenere Taqqim Tossam", off this year's Tassili [...]
Last night's guest on The Colbert Report was Tinariwen, "from a North African nomadic tribe, which means they're always on tour." (Also: "Our guests tonight are a North African refugee band, so their living conditions are slightly better than most American bands.") Joining them for the interview and performance of " Tenere Taqqim Tossam " were TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adibempe. ("Kyp, I'm glad to see you're still winning the beard battle.") Writing posts about Colbert is fun because Colbert writes posts for you. Also don't you just feel some right-wing news [...]
North African guitar group Tinariwen have garnered plenty of attention in 2011, thanks in part to their support from/collaboration with ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ tinariwen-playing-colbert-repo rt-tomorrow-night-wi/59084/
There are, literally, almost no words to describe Tinariwen 's performance at Minneapolis' Cedar Cultural Center. The Malian Tuareg band members only speak their native language, Tamashek, and French, so guitarist/vocalist Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni optimized his limited English by repeatedly asking, "Is okay? Ca va?" It was more than okay: Tinariwen's transfixing, timeless fusion of American classic rock and blues with traditional sub-Saharan protest songs garnered three encores, perhaps because this was Tinariwen's last stop on its North American tour (or, perhaps, they included one for each decade the band has been playing).
