CD borrowed from Robbie.

Sixth album for Tuareg nomads, released in 2011.

They really are from a nomadic tribe, and this album was recorded in the South Algerian Sahara desert. It's a much more intimate sounding album than their previous releases, maybe as a result of recording in their natural environment.

The music is a mix of Bluesy stuff, and tribal African stuff, with evocative vocals mostly sung in whatever language they speak, although the lyrics actually come through in English briefly, which sounds oddly wrong.

Rhythmically intoxicating World music of the very best quality.

Gorgeous, gorgeous album...


AllMusic 4/5 stars.
"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture"
