Sub-Saharan guitar blues has taken a strong enough foothold in the world music scene to qualify as its own genre, with its own stars and aesthetics and, now, its own alternative offshoots like Tinariwen. Formed in the 1980s in Muammar Qaddafi's rebel training camps, this group of Touareg nomads and former soldiers play droning, heartfelt, trance-inducing blues. Like their Malian peers, they favor hypnotic, single-note guitar runs with gutbucket vocals that double the guitar melody. Where they differ is in an improvisational group dynamic that adds elements of funk, rock, and a certain hallucinatory desert feel that seems less inspired by American blues forms and more an organic outpouring of pure inspiration, creating an utterly compelling, sui generis sound. On this 2007 release, their third album, these guys sing and play as if their lives depend on it.
