mrphMay's random music post didn't happen - or possibly it just got hijacked by Dustin the Eurovision turkey - but here we are again...
Tinariwen
(link goes to their MySpace page, with streaming music from their last album, Aman Imam)
Possibly Mali's most famous band. Electric guitars and 'desert blues', beloved of the world music press.
And I'd have to agree, as I really like Tinariwen - I've got a couple of albums (including this one) and I saw them play Warwick Arts Centre a year or two back.
There's something about the guitar work and the rhythm that just grabs my attention and won't let go - Cler Achel is probably the best example of this out of the MySpace tracks, although the vocals aren't as strong as some of their other songs. But that's just my opinion.
...so what do you think...?
