“Still champions of the genre they created.” – The Guardian
“As a band, no one lays down a heavier groove right now.” – Q Magazine

The soul of the Sahara.

TINARIWEN are a revelation. Both a dream and a nightmare for those of us trying to describe what makes them special. A dream because their tale is indeed epic – rebellion, guns and guitars, desert nomads, the real Saharan blues – easy nuggets of gold to thrill-seeking journalists and music prospectors. A nightmare because none of these clichés really do the band justice.

TINARIWEN are a revelation. Among their fans: Robert Plant, Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, Chris Martin. Their desert blues is the spirit of all music: a bridge between worlds, between cultures, between peoples. Electrifying and singular. Distinctive like no other live band.

We’re excited beyond words to bring TINARIWEN to China for two extraordinary shows.
