AllMusic Says Tinariwen Is As Authentic As Ever

AllMusic writes that, on Tinariwen‘s newest desert rock masterpiece, Amadjar, the members of the Tuareg guitar group “again summon a common musical language while sounding as authentic as ever.” The site notes that, in making the record, “Tinariwen’s last 20 years of globetrotting and guesting in unfamiliar Western studios were all but forgotten as they meshed themselves with their native habitat, singing and playing without headphones or effects under the stars.” The result, according to AllMusic, is loose and vibrant.

Amadjar debuted at #4 at NACC World last week and is aiming for new peaks this week at NACC World and the Radio 200.
