Ibrahim Ag Alhabib - Tinariwen: Concert Bouffes du Nord

The Malian-Berber band Tinariwen performed a one-off acoustic concert at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris during their European tour in the spring of 2011. Their music is hardly ordinary: the traditional North-African music style ‘tichumaren’ is mixed with elements of western pop and rock music. The band members’ forefathers, Tuareg, lead a nomadic life in the north-central Sahel. When these nomads looked for shelter in the cities of Northern Africa, their traditional music mixed with the local traditions. In this concert recording, material from Tinariwen’s album ‘Tessalit’ is played. The sight of these Tuareg musicians in their indigo tagelmusts within the famous Parisian theatre adds an unusual dimension to their desert song.
