The big news for early 2007 is new CD from Tinanwen. The Touareg nomads have risen rapidly in prominence over the past few years and on "Aman Iman: Water Is Life" (released on Independiente in March, and available for download from January) the undertow of obsessive nastiness that gives edge to their blistering live performances comes through more clearly than ever. All credit to the band for sticking to what they do best: no guest appearances from rappers, no bleep-hop remixes, just dense, intricate desert blues delivered in a low growl. They are touring Europe as well: the band are in their element late at night on a hot evening out of doors, but next best thing is the Barbican on March 23. 12/27/06
