iTunes Review
Formed in a Libyan refugee camp more than 20 years ago, Tinariwen crossed over to Western audiences with their previous two releases, 2007’s Aman Iman and 2009’s Imidiwan. Though they’re members of the nomadic Tuareg tribe native to Mali, Tinariwen do not play traditional Tuareg music. Influenced by electric blues as much as local Arab or West African sounds, Tinariwen has created their own unique musical strain. Performed on acoustic guitars, Tassili (the name of the Algerian desert where this was recorded) is their sparest release so far, yet its impact remains as deep and immediate as the albums featuring electric instruments. Hypnotic, intertwining guitars mix with droning, call-and-response vocals, hand drums, and clapping to create a rich and complex sound that is completely absorbing. As always they deliver some tough, funky grooves, but it’s the quieter, breathtakingly beautiful tracks like “Walla Illa”, “Tameyawt”, and “Iswegh Attay” that reveal a different side to the band. Mesmerizing and evocative, this is another sublime release by these masters of the desert blues.
Customer Reviews
Under stated, A rated
Tinariwen turn to a more sombre acoustic mood on this album and the up-tempo stuff is missed at first but the current crop of tunes soon subtley work their way into you. The westernisation of four tunes is limited and I found this variation a neat diversion amongst the acoustics, with the exception of the use of horns on track four which I find a little grating - but that's true of all horns in rock as far as i am concerned. Tinariwen have to be aplauded for delivering a different album/mood whilst staying true to their roots. A class band.
They've only gone and done it again!
Another fantastic album with the exception of three tracks, those featuring Tunde Adebimpe. These tracks sound far too westernised and lack the depth and rawness normally associated with Tinariwen. Having said that if you're a fan or new to them it's still an album well worth investing in.
Back Again
A great new album. Wel worth 10 english pounds.
