"When I first heard them, I felt like this was the music I've been looking for all my life," says Robert Plant about these electric nomads from Sahara. In 2005 the Tourag poet-guitarists and soul rebels won the BBC World Music Award in the Africa Category, and their unique sound was launched on a world wide audience.



Exiled from Mali in the early 80s, Tinariwen was born in Colonel Ghadaffi's training camps in Libya, where Toureg refugees were forced having fled conflict and drought in Mali. In between classes on revolution and guerilla warfare, founder member Ibrahim played music with friends and, inspired by hearing the music of Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, abandoned more traditional instruments for electric guitar, bass and drums. The result is the extraordinary sound of desert blues...

With a new CD, Aman Iman, freshly out in January, Tinariwen open their first ever Scottish tour in Dundee.



"Nurtured in exile, raised in conflict, and driven underground, where they achieved legendary status, Tinariwen are the kind of band that generations of western rebel rockers could only dream of being." - The Guardian

'..a benchmark for African music..'
Mojo

'This is sensational! The album of 2007 and we haven't even finished 2006 yet. There are plenty of bands who know how to rock, but very few know how to roll. Tinariwen are the masters of roll'n'roll.' Andy Kershaw, BBC Radio

'This extraordinary band are clearly pushing for more than cult world music status. They fully merit it'. Barney Hoskyns, Uncut Magazine.

Presented by Soundsfine and supported by SAC's Tune Up scheme.
