Yesterday night @ Villa Ada (Rome)
Tinariwen is a musical band formed in 1982 in Moammar al-Qadhafi's camps of Tuareg rebels. They play in the Tishoumaren ("music of the unemployed") style, and sing mostly in the French and Tamashek languages. Their songs mostly cover the subject of independence for their people from the government of Mali. They are said to be the first Tuareg band to use electric guitars.
The live performance was really good, surprising in a good sense, very earthy, dreamy, relaxing and above all good-natured.
