Biography
Tinariwen, or ⵜⵏⵔⵓⵏ, is a Tuareg group, formed in 1982 in exile in Algeria from Mali. They also spent some years in Libya. Tinariwen feel neither Algerian nor Malian: they are Tuareg, and regard the border that separates the two countries as a product of colonialism.
Tinariwen plays a mix of blues, rock and traditional Tuareg music.
"Tinariwen" means "empty place" in the language of the Berbers of the Saharan desert.
