Being a Moroccan, a country that breathes Tichumaren, Folk, Gnawa and Fusion, seeing Tinariwen on KEXP is a very pleasing thing ! Awesome band.

"(...) The musicians joined together in a collective (now known as Tinariwen) in order to create songs about the issues facing the Tuareg people, built a makeshift studio, and vowed to record music for free for anyone who supplied a blank cassette tape. The resulting homemade cassettes were traded widely throughout the Sahara region." ~ wikipedia

I've been listening to this all day since I discovered it this morning.

[harakat]

no matter what they're singing I don't understand a word
but they're songs & music touches your spirit

Great band.. thanks from Saudi Arabia

[Somnivers]

I don't understand a thing they say, but I'm playing this for the 3'rd time today.They are different, original, fresh, I love it !

"the song is about someone who goes out into the desert until night" -- living in a desert on the other side of the world and not understanding a word of the lyrics, it absolutely makes sense. The constant droning heat, harsh dry air, and beat of lengthy transport across wide meandering stretches of arid land are captured in a sound that nearly paralells the beauty of the enviornment it's written about.

[JOHNNYHAULAWAY]

[yasminx]

Fair play to KEXP. They get the creme da la creme to do live sets. Love tinariwen. Fantastic.

This group came into my radar a few years back and I absolutely love their stripped down spacious sound.  It's hypnotic, haunting, and they can really jam.  One can also hear the power in their lyrics and this is another fine example of how music is truly a universal language.  I came across the show in Seattle too late to make it but hoping I can catch them live someday.

I feel my inner african when I hear this. Its like the original blues music man. My Moroccan teacher always bragged about how the root of american music is actually from the Gnawa and a lot of traditional Berber and Sahel music.

[TheDoosh]

I like how they rotate instruments and vocal duties, a true band.

[biruwele]

I Don't understand what they are talking but I am addicted listening them almost every week. Music is realy a world language no matter who u are

[sailure]

Listening to music sung in an original language of man is quite relaxing.  The melodies and rhythmic tones has a calming effect on the brain.

[barnacles]

I wish I could understand the lyrics, the music and singing both are very captivating and beautiful. Greetings from Cambridge Md, USA....
