Tinariwen Fall Tour

A group of Taureg musical rebels and perennial favorite of NPR, Tinariwen are back in America this fall with dates across the US south and west. The band, who have collaborated with members of TV On The Radio, Nels Cline (Wilco’s guitarist) or The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, will finish their tour at Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Fest, which also includes performances from the other French-produced acts Yelle and Yann Tiersen.

Their latest effort, Emmaar (released in February 2014) remarries their electronic instruments with traditional acoustic instruments of the North Saharan desert area of Mali, from which they originally sought refuge.

Slate calls Tinariwen: “rock ‘n’ roll rebels whose rebellion, for once, wasn’t just metaphorical.”
