Description:
Amazingalbum from one of the smash sensation of WOMADElaide 2004: the 'Rolling Stones of the Sahara', the legendary Poet guitarists and soul rebels, TINARIWEN!

Generating huge press in the UK and across Europe on the back of their first UK tour and their involvement with the much talked about FESTIVAL OF THE DESERT. It's not just their music: the story of these nomadic-soldiers-turned-poet-musicians is capturing the imagination of everyone who hears it.

If you are a fan of other African blues artists like ALI FARKA TOURE, of American blues artists ranging from JOHN LEE HOOKER to RL BURNSIDE, as well as broader world music phenomenum like The Buena Vista Social Club, you will love this release.

"I've never been a gambling man, but if you could find me a bookie who would offer odds on which album will win the fRoots Critics' Album of the Year for 2004, I'd lay a tenner on Amassakoul, the second album from Tinariwen, the Tuareg group from Mali." - Charlie Gillett, BBC London Live (UK)
