Een repost van VAT66 nu bijna 2 jaar geleden, die toen meerdere albums van Tinarewin gepost heeft.
 
Tinariwen is a Tuareg group that performs in a Middle Eastern-African style similar to artists like Ali Farka Toure or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. All of the musicians originate from the southern Sahara, the north of Mali. The band formed in the rebel camps of Colonel Ghadaffi, as each of the musicians had been forced from their nomadic lifestyle into involuntary military service. 
Tinariwen forged a new style of music, trading their traditional lutes and shepherd's flutes for electric guitars and drums. The style that resulted was dubbed Tishoumaren or the music of the unemployed.
