Tenere

There’s a landscape that we’ve never travelled upon. There are places where you and I may have never been.  Yet these places we have imagined, dreamed of and captured in our reveries.  

Tinariwen, the afro-rock band made of Tuareg geniuses, is about to release its album Tassili, setting a musical platform to highlight the mountain range in the Sahara desert.

In their first single, titled Tenere  Taqqim Tossam, they have  featured their US counterparts from TV on the Radio, Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone, on a travel on the landscape of “blues” mellow  guitar driven anthem.

The ancient, the untold story and the concealed is brought to the open. Musically, as the listener you travel on  landscapes never travelled, you walk on the terrain of infinite stretches of sand and capture the reverie of a life we may never come to live but long dearly for.
