Inside World Music, Cd Review >>
by Paula Kirman
The Saharan desert is once again alive with fresh, pulsating guitar riffs and vocalizations on the third album from Tinariwen. The overall musicianship of Aman Iman is a close, but uniquely innovative extension of songs on previous albums, Amassakoul and Radio Tisdas Sessions. The album contains an amazing array of blues style guitar sounds, traditional instrumentation and group female vocalizations. Aman Iman (Water Is Life) is an album linked closely with the ethereal surroundings of the Saharan desert. The lyrical wordplay contains elements of pain, love, freedom, meteorological calamities, friendship and kinship. The liner notes include the traditional, Tamashek language in the tifinar script. Also, phonetic Tamashek and English translations are included. Just as water is essential for life, Tinariwen is essential for bringing the life of music to our ears. 03/01/07 >> go there
