Tinariwen new album 'Amadjar' - "particularly well-polished jewel"

"No one puts the soul of the Sahara into music so intimately and ingeniously as Tinariwen, and 'Amadjar' is a particularly well-polished jewel" - PopMatters says in it's review of Mali's band new album (gave it 9 of 10 stars). "Their position at the forefront of a cultural movement - the globalization of a music scene often called Tuareg desert blues - never seems to come into conflict with their sheer creativity and interest in making great music". Listen to it at BandCamp.
