Tinariwen

By Falling James | Thu, November 03, 2011

There's so much great music coming out of Mali these days, but it's the nomadic Saharan collective Tinariwen who conjure the most inexorably compelling spells. The music of these Tuareg warriors (several of them fought as rebel soldiers) came to ... More »

On a nice night with the right band playing, there's really no better hangout in the city.
