Camel trains and mustang horses. The timeless horizon of the endless Sahara and the wild frontier of the Old West\u2014and when the day is done, guitars around the campfire, singing songs of loss, longing, and home on the range.\r\n\r\nSeveral thousand miles of ocean may divide the desert blues of Tinariwen and the authentic country music of rural America, but the links are as palpable as they are romantic.\r\n\r\nOn Amatssou, their ninth studio album, Tinariwen set out to explore these shared sensibilities as banjos, fiddles, and pedal steel mix seamlessly with the Tuareg band\u2019s trademark snaking guitar lines and hypnotic grooves.\r\n\r\nIn the two decades since Tinariwen emerged from their base in the African desert to tour the globe, they have gotten to know many renowned American country, folk, and rock musicians, including Kurt Vile, Cass McCombs, Micah Nelson (son of Willie Nelson), Cat Power, Wilco, Bon Iver, and Jack White. The story of Amatssou begins in 2021 when White invited Tinariwen to record in Nashville at his private recording studio.\r\n\r\nWhite, a long-time fan, lent Tinariwen his engineer Joshua Vance Smith to mix the group\u2019s last album, 2019\u2019s Amadjar. This time, the plan was for Tinariwen to fly to America to record with local country musicians and Grammy-winning producer Daniel Lanois, whose production credits range from U2 and Bob Dylan to Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris.\r\n\r\nFounder members Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, Touhami Ag Alhassane, and Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni, plus bassist Eyadou Ag Leche, percussionist Said Ag Ayad, and guitarist Elaga Ag Hamid, were all ready to make the trip\u2014until the global pandemic prevented them from traveling. Plans were hastily redrawn for Lanois and a handpicked group of American country musicians to travel to Africa and work with the band in their natural surroundings of the desert.\r\n\r\nTinariwen\u2019s last album was recorded at a camp in Mauritania under the stars. This time, the band decided to head for Djanet, an oasis in the desert of southern Algeria, located in the Tassili N\u2019Ajjer National Park\u2014a vast sandstone plateau that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for its 10,000-year-old prehistoric cave art.\r\n\r\nThere, among jagged rock outcrops and dramatic sandstone vistas, they set up a makeshift studio in a tent, with equipment borrowed from fellow Tuareg band Imarhan\u2019s studio in Tamanrasset, a two-day drive away, where the first iteration of Tinariwen formed some 40 years ago.\r\n\r\nWith Imarhan\u2019s gear came the band\u2019s guitarist Hicham Bouhass to contribute to the recording. However, in a second blow dealt by the pandemic, Lanois contracted Covid, and the American contingent was forced to remain at home.\r\n\r\nHappily, the integrity of the project remained intact via the wonders of modern technology. Lanois added deft touches from his studio in Los Angeles, country musicians Fats Kaplin and Wes Corbett recorded their parts in Nashville, and Kabyle percussionist Amar Chaoui recorded his in Paris.\r\n\r\nLanois\u2019 haunting pedal steel and crystalline production add a soaring ambience to Tinariwen\u2019s trance-like desert blues on Arajghiyine and Jayche Atarak. Corbett\u2019s banjo lends an empathetic texture to the opening track Kek Alghalm, a long-time live favorite now recorded for the first time. Kaplin, one of Jack White\u2019s regular sidemen who also played on one track on Tinariwen\u2019s 2014 album Emmaar, variously contributes pedal steel, violin, and banjo to six of the ten tracks.\r\n\r\nThe album\u2019s title, Amatssou, is Tamashek for Beyond The Fear\u2014and it fits. Tinariwen have always been characterized by their fearlessness. As Bob Dylan once said, the power of rock\u2019n\u2019roll is that it makes us \u201coblivious to the fear\u201d as the music gives us the strength and resilience to confront adversity.\r\n\r\nTuareg culture is as old as that of ancient Greece or Rome, but fusing traditional West African and Arabic styles with blues, country, folk, and rock influences, the songs on Amatssou speak to the current and often tough reality of Tuareg life today.\r\n\r\nUnsurprisingly, there are impassioned references to Mali\u2019s ongoing political and social turmoil. The rise of jihadists, who attempted to ban music in a country boasting one of the world\u2019s richest musical cultures, was followed by a military coup in 2020 and a further coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in 2021. French peacekeeping troops have been withdrawn, and Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group are suspected of involvement in the ongoing unrest.\r\n\r\nFull of poetic allegory, the lyrics call for unity and freedom. There are songs of struggle and resistance, with oblique references to the recent desperate political upheavals in Mali and the increasing power of the Salafists. \u201cDear brothers, all rest, all leisure will always be far from reach unless your homeland is liberated and all the elders can live there in dignity,\u201d Ibrahim Ag Alhabib sings on Arajghiyine, while Lanois\u2019s pedal steel and piano lend the song an epic, universal application.\r\n\r\nTinariwen singlehandedly invented a guitar style that has captured the world\u2019s imagination. They call it ishumar or assouf (\u201cnostalgia\u201d in Tamashek). The rest of the planet has come to know it as the Tuareg blues. It\u2019s music imbued with sorrow and longing, but it\u2019s also music for forgetting our cares and for dancing.\r\n\r\nFar more than just a rock band, Tinariwen are ambassadors for their people and a way of life in tune with the natural world, which is under threat as never before. Their message has never sounded more urgent and compelling than it does on Amatssou.","photo":"","instagram":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tinariwen","facebook":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tinariwenmusic","tiktok":"","youtube":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/tinariwen","spotify":"","deezer":"","site_web":"http:\/\/www.tinariwen.com\/"}],"lien_ticket_wait":""},"yoast_head":"\n<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"[:fr]TINARIWEN[:] • OM concerts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"OM concerts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/omconcerts.be\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-02-24T15:37:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/partageOM.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"[:fr]TINARIWEN[:] • OM concerts","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"[:fr]TINARIWEN[:] • OM concerts","og_url":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/","og_site_name":"OM concerts","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/omconcerts.be\/","article_modified_time":"2025-02-24T15:37:39+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":630,"url":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/partageOM.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/","url":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/","name":"[:fr]TINARIWEN[:] • OM concerts","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/#website"},"datePublished":"2025-02-11T08:57:22+00:00","dateModified":"2025-02-24T15:37:39+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/concert\/tinariwen\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Accueil","item":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Concerts","item":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/agenda\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"TINARIWEN"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/#website","url":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/","name":"OM concerts","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/#organization"},"alternateName":"OM","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/#organization","name":"OM concerts","alternateName":"OM","url":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cropped-OM_LOGO.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cropped-OM_LOGO.png","width":512,"height":512,"caption":"OM concerts"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/omconcerts.be\/"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/concert\/2258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/concert"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/concert"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omconcerts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
