Hoggar feat. José González & Sulafa Elyas/Limited White Vinyl

Description

Tinariwen evolves once more with their new album, collaborating with a younger generation of Tuareg musicians to create a vibrant opus of enchanting rhythms, deeply rooted in their nomadic community. The album also features contributions from José González and Sulafa Elyas.Staunch defenders of their people's nomadic culture, which thrives in the desert border regions between Mali and Algeria, Tinariwen has captivated the world over the past twenty years with their bluesy, guitar-driven music, brilliantly blending political engagement in Tamasheq, syncopated rhythms, and mesmerizing melodies.On "Hoggar," the band refocuses on its roots and asserts its status as heirs to the Tuareg musical tradition. They reconnect with their beginnings, when they composed on acoustic guitar and sang collectively around a campfire in the desert, all while passing the torch to a younger generation of guest musicians capable of keeping the flame of rebellion and protest alive.
