Desert Crossroads
“This sextet's potent nomadic blues is a blend of two West-Central African ethnic groups-- the Tuareg and the Wodaabe peoples-- who historically have lived in the south Sahara and Sahel grasslands. Where the Tuareg band Tinariwen spin their desert blues with strong rock overtones, Etran Finatawa keep things more traditional.”
The Sahara Sessions
“The new album by this group of Tuareg and Wodaabe musicians was made deep in the Sahara in a situation that sounds idyllic, but was in fact at the heart of a series of neighboring wars and revolutions. That situation calls for a certain musical immediacy, which the dry recording conditions amply provide.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
