Tinariwen was founded by Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, who at age four witnessed the execution of his father (a Tuareg rebel) during a 1963 uprising in Mali. As a child he saw a western film in which a cowboy played a guitar. Ag Alhabib built his own guitar out of a tin can, a stick and bicycle brake wire. He started to play old Tuareg and modern Arabic pop tunes.[citation needed] Ag Alhabib first lived in Algeria in refugee camps near Bordj Badji Mokhtar and in the deserts around the southern city of Tamanrasset, where he received a guitar from a local Arab man.[9] Later, he resided with other Tuareg exiles in Libya and Algeria.
Ehhhh yo estuve en este concierto : ) .... Tinariwen son increibles!!!!!!... la estructura de sus canciones es hipnótica... estaré loco pero a mi me recuerda la música electrónica: como el dejar correr un loop y después ir soltando pequeñas variaciones sobre una misma base.... o bien podría ser la base de Velvet Underground, ya saben esa viola repetitiva de John Cale.... pues eso, que toda la música está conectada por un hilo de plata... por eso, lo de "Musica del Mundo",apesta
