Our Take

Tinariwen's latest offering, "Imidiwan: Companions," is a mesmerising journey through the desert blues genre that will transport you to the heart of the Sahara. This album is a true testament to the band's prowess as they effortlessly blend traditional Tuareg melodies with modern rock sensibilities.

The opening track, "Imidiwan Ma Tenam," sets the tone for the entire album with its hypnotic guitar riffs and haunting vocals. It's impossible not to get swept away by the infectious rhythms and soulful lyrics that speak to the band's experiences as nomadic musicians.

Tracks like "Assuf Ag Assuf" and "Lulla" showcase Tinariwen's ability to create music that is both introspective and dance-worthy. The band's musicianship shines through on every track, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the mix.

One of the standout moments on the album is the collaboration with Lalla Badi, "Tenhert." Her ethereal vocals complement Tinariwen's sound perfectly, adding an extra layer of depth to an already rich tapestry of music.

Overall, "Imidiwan: Companions" is a triumph for Tinariwen, proving once again why they are one of the most revered bands in the desert blues genre. This album is a must-listen for fans of world music and anyone looking to take a musical journey to far-off lands.
