Tinariwen have shared a live video on Youtube from their exceptional concert at Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord Paris on 28 June 2011. The audience appreciation can be heard throughout the performance which was also released as a free 8-track live album in August that year by The Guardian. They perform Asuf D Alwa from their Tassili album which was recorded and named after, the protected Algerian desert region of Tassili N’Ajjer.
“In returning to their desert roots, Tinariwen have succeeded in shaking off the two most potent symbols of their origins – the gun and the electric guitar, yet still affirm their right to exist as a desert people. In sharing their musical roots, the musicians on Tassili share their experiences, their view of the world and how it has affected their lives and those of the people they love.” Neil McFadyen (FRUK, 2011) in his review of Tassili.
