Tinariwen – Amassakoul
(World Village):
In the Tamashek language of the southern Sahara, “Tinariwen” means “deserts’ or “empty places.” This seven-piece band of nomads beautifully conveys the solitude of life among the African sand dunes by fusing traditional Tuareg music with electric guitar. The result is a thrilling form of blues in which primal call-and-response vocals are shadowed by liquid guitar solos that shimmer like the heat of a distinct mirage. Utterly unique and wholly accessible. By Stephen Humphries 12/03/04
