Hailing from Tuareg, worldly group Tinariwen is dropping in on Seattle Tuesday.

The most recent news release says the band offers "raw simplicity" and "melodic beauty" in its music for potential listeners of the American variety. But I think its lyrics tell the group's story as exiles in the Southern Sahara and all the politics that come with that.

They're putting on two shows, an all-ages show at 7 p.m. and one for those over 21 starting at 9:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. respectively at the Triple Door.
