TINARIWEN
EMMAAR

THE DESERT IS A PLACE OF HARDSHIP AND SUBTLE BEAUTY, A STARK WORLD THAT REVEALS ITS SECRETS SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. LIFE IN THE DESERT IS RESILIENT AND STRONG, AND THE PEOPLE ARE GENTLE GIANTS AMONG THE SAND, STORMS, AND SUN. FOR SAHARAN BLUES BAND TINARIWEN, THE DESERT IS THEIR HOME, AND THEIR HYPNOTIC AND ELECTRIFYING GUITAR ROCK REFLECTS COMPLEX REALITIES OF THEIR HOMEBASE IN NORTH WEST AFRICA.

THEY ARE TUAREG, DESCENDED FROM NOMADIC PEOPLE WHO HAVE WANDERED THE DUNES FOR MILLENNIA, BUT THE MUSIC OF TINARIWEN TRAVELS TOO, REVERBERATING FAR FROM DUSTY PLAINS OF MALI. THEIR 2011 ALBUM TASSILI, RECORDED IN THE ALGERIAN DESERT — IN A TENT AND UNDER THE STARS WITH A ESTEEMED CADRE OF MUSICIANS INCLUDING NELS CLINE AND TV ON THE RADIO’S TUNDE ADEBIMPE AND KYP MALONE — WON A GRAMMY AWARD FOR BEST WORLD MUSIC. NOW THEIR NEW RECORD EMMAAR RETURNS TO THEIR ROOTS, DELIVERING STRIPPED-DOWN DIRGES, EFFERVESCENT ANTHEMS, AND ABOVE ALL, A RETURN TO SIMPLICITY AND HONESTY.

DUE TO POLITICAL INSTABILITY IN THEIR COUNTRY, THE BAND RECORDED AWAY FROM THEIR HOMELAND FOR THE FIRST TIME, SETTING UP SHOP IN ANOTHER DESERT: JOSHUA TREE, CALIFORNIA. “THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE ARE RECORDING OUT OF AFRICA IT HAS TO BE IN A DESERT,” SAYS BASSIST EYADOU AG LECHE. “WE WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN PEACE IN THE NORTH OF MALI, BUT THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT, THERE IS NO ADMINISTRATION, NO BANKS, NO FOOD, NO GAS. JOSHUA TREE IS IN THE HIGH DESERT OF CALIFORNIA, WE LOVE ALL THE DESERT, THESE ARE PLACES WHERE WE FEEL GOOD TO LIVE AND TO CREATE.”


ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS WHO FOUNDED THE GROUP IN THE 1980S (VOCALISTS AND GUITARISTS IBRAHIM AG ALHABIB, ABDALLAH AG ALHOUSSEYNI, AND ALHASSANE AG TOUHAMI) AND THE YOUNGER GENERATION WHO GREW UP LISTENING TO THE BAND AND JOINED IN THE 1990S (MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST EYADOU AG LECHE, GUITARIST ELAGA AG HAMID, AND PERCUSSIONIST SAID AG AYAD), A GROUP OF AMERICAN MUSICIANS APPEAR ON THE ALBUM. ACCOMPANIED BY RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS GUITARIST JOSH KLINGHOFFER, MATT SWEENEY FROM CHAVEZ, NASHVILLE FIDDLER FATS KAPLIN, AND POET SAUL WILLIAMS, EMMAAR IS A RICHLY LAYERED LISTEN SOLIDIFIED BY ATMOSPHERIC TEXTURES AND GRITTY GUITAR-WORK.

RECORDING AWAY FROM MALI CREATED A NUANCED SOUND THAT AG LECHE SAYS COULD HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THE NEW LANDSCAPE AND AMERICAN EXPERIENCES. “WE THINK THAT THE AIR IS DIFFERENT, THE MOODS ARE DIFFERENT, RECORDING IN AMERICA AND DOING A SMALL TOUR IN CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS, BROUGHT US IN A SPECIAL MOOD, THE LANDSCAPE, THE BIG SPACE, THE SOUTH. WE WATCHED WESTERN MOVIES, DURING THE RECORDING AND ATE BURRITOS, AND THE ENGINEER WHO WORKED WITH US IS FROM NASHVILLE, SO I SUPPOSED IT CHANGE THE WAY OUR MUSIC IS CAPTURED.”


“OUR PEOPLE ARE USED TO MOVING ALL THE TIME,” AG LECHE SAYS, “SINCE THE LATE 60’S WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MOVED BETWEEN MALI, ALGERIA, LIBYA, CHAD, MAURITANIA, NIGER. NOWADAY A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES MOVED TO THE ALGERIAN BORDER OR CLOSE TO NIGER BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION WITH THE MALIAN ADMINISTRATION. WE ARE REFUGEES IN A LOT OF COUNTRIES IN AFRICA.”
