Tinariwen

Hailing from Northern Mali in the Saharan desert, nomadic guitar slingers Tinariwen have thrilled audiences across the world. The Grammy Award winners’ unique brand of Tuareg blues rock first appeared in 1979. The pioneering fusion of West African and Arabic musical traditions along with blues, rock, country, and folk is mesmerising. Their songs are political and poetic, with lyrics confronting the fraught social change and upheavals happening in their homelands. Renowned for their phenomenal guitar skills, Tinariwen know how to get an audience moving in the aisles. 

Their playing has been described as both ‘deft’ and ‘fearless’ by a Guardian reviewer. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch this remarkable Saharan sensation.
