Tinariwen - Imidiwan: Companions

 

Following the highly acclaimed 2007 album "Aman Iman," "Imidiwan: Companions" was released in 2009, a 13-track collection by the seven-piece band from the Sahara. For the first time since their debut "The Radio Tisdas Sessions" in 2001, they worked again with producer Jean-Paul Romann. The album hypnotically combines Malian desert blues with guitar-led Tichumaren agitation, creating a very unique sound. The Guardian said of the album: "The smooth, rhythmic guitar lines and bluesy riffs are still there, but in a lighter setting, more like desert folk music."
