Tinariwen is a music phenomenon from West Africa, which is not only an exciting story but has also resulted in fantastic music with great success all over the world. “Our style is modern music in a traditional spirit. The idea was born in 1979, the first time someone played Tuareg music with an electric guitar.”

The band is a musical collective, whose members belong to the nomadic Tuareg people. They were formed in 1982 while training in Muammar Gaddafi’s military camp in Libya for the independence struggle against Mali’s regime. In 2012, Tinariwen was awarded a World Music Grammy for their album Tassili and will soon release their ninth album Amatssou, recorded at Jack White’s studio in Nashwille.

Although Tinariwen’s guitar-based, rhythmic music, with political lyrics about struggle and freedom, is sometimes described as a distant West African relative of American blues, the band members point out that they had never heard the blues before they started touring internationally. But their music is no copycat, it’s a mix of a variety of influences made into something of their own – for once, true rebel music!
