Amassakoul

by Tinariwen

Amassakoul cover art

Tinariwen brought the 'desert blues' of the Tuareg people to an international audience with 'Amassakoul'. The album is characterized by hypnotic, repetitive guitar patterns and collective vocal chants that evoke the vastness of the Sahara. It is a soulful, resilient record born out of political struggle and nomadic life.
