TINARIWEN plus very special guests Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara

Sat 24 May 7:30pm at Town Hall

Tinariwen are a group of former Touareg warriors from the southern Sahara who (to quote the Sunday Times) ‘strode out of the Sahara with the best rock album of the year [2004], suggesting a gathering of the greatest guitars you’ve ever heard, John Lee Hooker, Jimi Hendrix, and electric Bob Dylan burnt into new shapes by the desert sun’. They fought a rebellion in the early 1990s to win greater freedom for the Touareg people, and their fight gave birth to a whole new style of desert music – their roots rock rebellion of the soul is one of the most entrancing sounds to emerge from Africa in years.
