Tinariwen is a collective of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara region of southern Algeria and of northern Mali, in the region of Azawad. Considered pioneers of desert blues, the group's guitar-driven style combines traditional Tuareg and African music with Western rock music.

Tinariwen's desert blues: 'It's become an important cultural statement of identity' The Tuareg band's soulful music speaks of exile, rebellion and companionship. –Financial Times
