Love the music! First saw Tinariwen when Santana hosted them on a show a while ago, have been hooked ever since. Music is kind of hypnotic, in a sense. They are really partying on this song!
Thanks so much for posting this! It's one of the few clips that captures their energy onstage well, though one still needs to be there in person to get all of it! My favorite clip of Ibrahim, too....

We saw them at Higher Ground in Burlington Vermont, USA. I swear the building was levitating, it was that intense. If you ever have an opportunity to hear these musicians live, drop everything and GO.
@1776amg Very true! I'm seeing them for the third time tonight. The previous two times, afterwards I was so high from it I could barely speak! And we kept hearing people say things like "I am in orbit!" as we left.... They are truly amazing, and you have to experience it in person to really get the full effect!
some riffs remind me of 1983 (a merman i should turn to be) by jimi hendrix, the gap between this song and moon turn the tides (gently gently away). really cool
Where do you live?, i saw them in festival WOMAD in Las Palmas-Islas Canarias, last week were fantastic ,now in January it will be a desert concert in Mali, i will go,will play all groups Touareg, do u want to come?
Regarding what was described as "slick motherfuckin desert Jedi or some shit" one onlooker could only comment, "man, thems is some wicked fucking beats."
