Revolutionary trance blues from desert nomads — how hot is that? Tinariwen’s excellent backstory (its members are Tuareg, a desert people, and allegedly trained as armed rebels before turning to music) has helped make it a favorite among upper-boho Westerners. What matters, though, is the band’s groove : a fluid, sneaky thing, equally rooted in Arabic and psychedelic traditions, that packs more heat than most Euro-American rockers can even imagine these days.
