Tinariwen is a Tuareg group formed in 1982. They identify as Tuareg and reject the borders that separate Algeria and Mali, considering them products of colonialism. Their music blends blues, rock, and traditional Tuareg styles.

The band's name, "Tinariwen," translates to "empty place" in the language of the Saharan desert Berbers. Some of their album artwork features symbols resembling "+10:1" or "+IO:I." These symbols are actually the band's name written in Tifinagh script.

Experience the unique sound of Tinariwen as they take you on a musical journey through their rich cultural heritage.

Back In Stock

The 20th Anniversary edition of Tinariwen’s first studio album The Radio Tisdas Sessions has been remastered and repackaged with a bonus unreleased bonus track, exclusive photos and brand-new liner notes. The Radio Tisdas Sessions feature songs from Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, Kedou Ag Ossad, Mohamed Ag Itlal aka ‘Japonais' who passed away on February 14th 2021, and Foy Foy. Tinariwen are Tuaregs, children of a nomadic Berber tribe who have roamed the Saharan desert for thousands of years. Over recent centuries, colonialism has seen the Tuareg’s ancestral territory partitioned into distinct countries - Mali, Algeria, Libya, Niger. This drawing of borders has turned the Tuareg into ishumar, a displaced people in search of a homeland lost to them. Tinariwen’s music – a blend of West African traditional music and electrified rock’n’roll – speaks directly to this feeling of longing: a sound that critics have called “desert blues”.
