My Friend, I beg of you,
Go gently.
We still have a country,
Albeit thirsty and in pain,
But it will turn green again,
And grow new branches.
There will be shade again,
And beneath it weâll take our rest.
An old woman and a boy
Came by here to implore you
To come together and unite.
All of you, without exception.
- Touhami Ag Alhassane

âSAGHERAT ASSANIâ is a traditional song carried from Sudan to the Sahara. Japonais (one of the band founders who died in 2021) and myself were in Al Kufrah (a city at the border between Sudan and Libya) in 1989. At that time, I was beginning to learn the guitar. We met a musician who was playing this song. We loved it so much that Japonais learned it, then played it again and again, allowing it to travel and endure. This version features Sulafa Elyas, an outstanding Sudanese singer and oud player now living in exile in Franceâ

Tinariwenâs desert blues has always evoked a nomadic way of life with swaying, caravan-like rhythms, its bright guitars and its hazy, distance-crossing vocals. Despite the Grammys, the world tours, the genre-crossing, star-studded guest cameos, the band, at its best, has always sounded like a group of dusty brothers-at-arms, bivouacked down for the night, campfire smoldering, the music carrying though empty dunes, reaching, maybe, all the way to home. And indeed thatâs how they started, around a pair of Tuareg warriors temporarily enlisted in Qaddafiâs army, fighting in northern Mali and southern Algeria during the day and making music at night. Tinariwenâs members have experienced the worst of the global migration crisis, in war, displacement and closed borders, but also the best, bringing their hallucinatory grooves to Europe, North America and Asia and accumulating global fan base.
This latest album comes as Tinariwen is barred from playing its planned string of 2026 shows in the United States, thanks to racist travel bans, but the band is busy elsewhere, performing before thousands in India and making the rounds of the European capitals. Thatâs our lossâand also theirs. They could use the money. We could use the dreaming, drifting, hip-moving transport that a live Tinariwen can provide.
Thatâs heavy stuff, but the music is often not. Cuts like âErghad Afewoâ keen and wail ecstatically, the eerie vocals taking you to other, more triumphant places, the insistent rhythms urging your feet and butt to move. A Tinariwen concert is always a celebration, and since we wonât have access to that, the transporting joys of Hoggar will have to do for now. Â
