Where else would you have an event titled A Festival in the Desert that, uh, Boulder? Noted desert that it is, and all. But when you think about it, it makes sense: Plenty of Boulderites drive Touaregs, and this gig will feature actual Tuareg musicians in the Zeppelin-Meets-Algeria group Tinariwen. Boulder offers beautiful views; this concert offers Vieux Farka Toure, son of noted Malian bluesman AliFarka Toure. Boulder has… OK, enough of that. Wrap your eyes tightly to keep out the dust of the Flatirons.
