Album Notes & Community Reviews

Introducing the global music scene to the hypnotic electric blues of the Tuareg people, this album was famously recorded in a remote Malian radio station. The collective weaves deeply repetitive, trance-inducing guitar melodies and passionate group vocals to document the struggles and cultural pride of their nomadic heritage.
