The Radio Tisdas Sessions by Tinariwen (World Village)

Historically nomads and more recently rebels aginst the government of Mali, the Tuareg, or Kel Tamashek, people of the Sahara have recently made peace, which comes through here in Tinariwen's mellow music. Circular electric guitar melodies buoy call-and-response singers like dunes slowly shifting in the distance. --Keith Goetzman 12/01/02
