Lyrics in English: I went to see Lulla, who's wearing nylon I went to see Bajou, the situation is hard I went to see Soro, then went back from Soro's I went to see Mizgawa, she's seated and elegant I went to see El-Xafra, where the pious do their ablutions I went to see Tina, she says "there's no more" I went to see Abnousou, it was raining I went to see Rati, a girl with temper
levente csanyi nylla is that black blue fabric that tergui women wear and gave them that blue shimmer on their faces not nylon .that fabric is made out of a special plans and very good for hait
I lived in Algerian saharan cities in my childhood. The most peaceful place I ever been. Tea, nice people, food, good people! I still go visit my old friends.
Just discovering this group and I am amazed! It's hypnotic, uplifting, beautiful. As someone who knows little beyond American and European music, it's accessible to me, it has a lot in common with blues and progressive rock, even jam-band music, it just goes to show that the same spirit of music runs through all of us.
Se la rifaron en el concierto de la copa del mundo Sudafrica 2010 Son geniales I really like their music, their concept, their way of thinking,etc. greetings from Mexico
0:15 the only time to see Ibrahim .s smile he passed all his life time sad about his parents who were killed when he had 9 years front his eyes this song was about his wife Lulla
What happened to his wife ? , in one of the documentaries about the band he showed an image of his wife and him , but she doesnt appear, she died ? , If she did I understand why he looks with melancholy most of the time , he lost his family and the love of his love :"c
11 years ago I heard them play at the Desert Music Festival in the Sahara desert outside Timbuktu, Mali West Africa. Unforgettable! Also heard them in person twice in San Francisco.
I am very proud to be part of this magnificent people. Yes, I am must as Amazigh as them... We have to stay always free as we were. Long life to you, my dear people, Imazighen.... X
Oui du coté de ma mère il y a des Amazigh, elle est peulh, sonrheï et Amazigh et mon père est sudiste, il est Mandingue et wolof, ce qui fait que je suis sudiste et nordiste du Mali avec des origines du Sénégalaise aussi.

For me its like a whole new world has opened, listening to this music, this fantastic band. Never heard of them,spend the whole day listening to them yesterday and continue today - the world I'm in is not new, its old - for me - a 28 year old girl, born in Belgium, my roots lay in North Africa, Morocco, Nador... Tamazight! I love this - its like my heart and soul reconnected with the souls of my antsestors. Stunning - captivating - and touches my deepest core!
MUSIC, like all the arts is very subjective, we all like what we like. This group is new to me but I am glad to see/hear more new rhythms coming out of Africa. Music unites!
I am astonished so far about this loveliness and powerful song ... a immediate jumping at these Touareg magic rhythms with the rhythm & blues and rock shuffle. Inspired soul.
Thank to this great african musician , the Imazighen the great noble people of the sahara evertime I listen to tineriwen I feel something in me. Our music in Africa is always from soul. Thank to this African tribe of sahara
i am also a morrocan with imazighen roots and i can find myself in your comment i experienced the same and i couldnt say it better then you did to thanks
This songs make my foot loose. I heard this more than 100 times in one day. Thanks for posting this video. Even though I don't understand the language can some post yrics of this song...
If you are a fan of this group, and Mali music in general, might I recommend 'Habib Koite and Bamada,'; they're also fantastic. With albums such as 'Ma Ya,' and 'Muso Ko,' some should really check them out. Anyone now familiar with Tinariwen should check out Habib Koite and Bamada, not to mention any of Mali's brilliant artists. It has really been a great learing experience for me. Such a wealth of great talent. (I've been too musically sheltered.) So much I've only recently discovered. LISTEN.
Just saw these guys last night in Chicago - AMAZING. i knew they'd be good, but I didn't expect them to be that good. What doesn't come across on the recordings is the rhythm section - the djembe (sp?) player and the bass player. Those guys are monsters. Catch them if you can...and if you can, check "Rosetta West - Yallah," my own modest effort at fusing some North African elements to blues.
love the cinematography in this and would love to go down and see more of the beautiful landscapes and people south of Morocco!looking forward to seeing Tinariwen here in London in October!
