Snippet Bio: During the early 1980s, in a rebel camp run by Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi, a band was formed by musicians from the Touareg (Saharan nomads from Mali) tribe. They called themselves Tinariwen, which means “empty spaces” in their native Tamishek. Their music incorporated hypnotic, rocked-out, bluesy-sounding electric guitars−a first for people from an area where power is only sporadically available−while retaining traditional instruments, rhythms, and call-and-response vocals.
