Limo Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Seeing Tinariwen last night prompted me to check if WATMM had a Touareg Rock / desert blues topic already. It didn't. But maybe it should. When done right, this is such hypnotic stuff. Check out my favorite Tinariwen track for an example: A big problem with this stuff is that the albums are often overly slick and produced according to mainstream rock norms. Bombino, for example, is great live but makes terribly glitzy albums. Pretty much the only albums that don't suffer from (that I know of) are the Guitars from Agadez series. Example: Anyone else have good examples of this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising for burgers Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 check out sahel sounds label, specially mdou moctar, his afelan album... you're right about the production aspect of it... here's 2 versions of the same track that confirm what you say... i bet that there's older stuff with not such good production aspect but i've never had the time to look for it...

Limo Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Very good illustration of th3 problem. Nice find! Cool track, too. Here’s another rough gem. Bombino live in Agadez in 2010. Note there’s not even a bass player on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
