	Tinariwen - PopMatters Concert Review
		Tinariwen thumb the low bass strings and simultaneously pick and twang the higher notes, masterfully demonstrating the link between the Mississippi Delta and the Saharan sands.
		Tinariwen has in the past been composed of as many as nine musicians, singers, and dancers; tonight the band performed as a sextet comprised of various guitar players, a bassist, and a percussionist.
		Tinariwen translate an innate and tangible feel for the joy of song and the tradition of the singer as storyteller and troubadour.

	BBC - Radio 3 - Womad 2004 - Tinariwen
		This modern musical nomadism is turning Tinariwen into a wickedly effective live unit, capable of rousing the most contrary audience and bringing it to boiling point.
		Now that life in the northern desert regions of Mali is returning to some kind of normality, Tinariwen travel the world to remind us that the culture of their people, the Kel Tamashek, or Touaregs, is still alive and kicking, still proud and defiant.
		I watch Tinariwen on BBC on Saturday night (24.07.04)and this band is awesome and could teach other live acts how to put on a concert.

		Tinariwen are a band born of the desert, their haunting and brittle melodies reflecting the sun, sand and winds that so define the Sahara and Tinariwen's nomadic Tuareg ancestry, a people who for centuries have roamed the North African Sands with all their isolation and beauty.
		Tinariwen is also a creation of conflict as its members came together in rebel training camps while fighting for the independence of the Tuareg people.
		Tinariwen's members would ride into battle to face death with their guitars strapped to their backs, showing just how linked their musical expressions were with their ideals.

		Tinariwen's music has played a determining role in the growing cultural awareness of the Touareg youth with songs that are living, imaginative and often profoundly real evocations of the identity of the modern Touareg people.
		Exile and resistance were originally the major themes of the songs but as time passed Tinariwen and their songs have expressed the wider struggles of daily life in the Tamashek speaking countries.

	Tinariwen, The Radio Tisdas Sessions
		Tinariwen's The Radio Tisdas Sessions album is the artistic output of a group of musicians whose home is the vast expanse of the Sahara.
		Confronted with the difficulties of continuing their traditional music because of the dispersion of their people, the musicians of Tinariwen taught themselves to play guitar and let themselves be inspired by the Western music they heard.
		Both Tinariwen and the producers who made this project possible, Justin Adams and Lo'Jo, deserve our congratulations because they have shown once again that there is probably no better medium to express our shared humanity than music.

	Tinariwen gives its people's plight a musical voice and stage
		Tinariwen is unlike any musical group in the world, not just because of where they live (in a remote Malian town called Kidal), but because of their connection to armed rebellion, and because of their intense, guitar-driven songs.
		Tinariwen has played music for more than 20 years, but it's only been since 2001, when "The Radio Tisdas Sessions," its first international album, was released, that the group captured an audience far beyond its home in West Africa.
		On Tinariwen's latest work, "Amassakoul" (which was released this month in the United States), the producers took no chances: They recorded most of the songs in Mali's capital, Bamako, then mixed them in a studio in France.

	Tinariwen - Nightlife Articles
		Tinariwen are Tuareg nomads whose electric guitars, percussion and voices deliver the full spectrum of what the Western Sahara and hard rock can dish out.
		Andy Morgan: Since the beginning, around 1980, Tinariwen have always been a guitar band, with the electric guitar predominating, even though the acoustic guitar has always been very important, and is coming back into the music more and more.
		There might be consequences for traveling, visas, getting together for rehearsals, taking journalists out to the desert to cover Tinariwen activities, etc. Most worryingly, the future of all the various desert festivals which have been springing up is now seriously in doubt, at least inasmuch as they attract foreign tourists.

		For millennia the Tuareg (or Kel Tamashek; from which Tinariwen hails) have been roaming the Sahara, and for over 30 years, they'd been carrying out a futile war for independence in Mali.
		Fortunately for UN peacekeepers and music fans alike, the Tuareg put down their guns in the mid-'90s and Tinariwen (who'd formed in '82) were allowed to spread their musical message among their people around Mali and now globally.
		There are depths here that few musicians can touch, yet Tinariwen plucks your heartstrings immaculately as you descend -- leaving you quite confused in their melancholic celebration.
