The songs of Tinariwen mourn the passing of the epic golden age of the Saharan tribes, while endeavoring to map out a future for the generations who must survive beyond it and live with the modern world. Recorded with the help of solar energy in the studios of Radio Tisdas, the Tamashek station of Kidal, the new album, 'Amassakoul' immobilizes their wandering music at long last.
BBC Review
This second album by the leading Touareg desert blues band in Mali arrives at a time when many will be suffering from the winter blues. If you didn't make it to the Festival in the Desert but enjoyed the live album, you'll be happy to discover that this music has a similar power to transport you to the heats of the Sahara. There's even a studio version of the song "Aldhechen Manin" which first appeared on that wonderfully atmospheric compilation.
In the same way that the experience of displacement and disenfranchisement has produced a vibrant rebel music culture among the Saharawi people of Western Sahara, Tinariwen's roots lie in the Touareg rebellion and subsequent diaspora of Toureg people which took place after Mali's independence.
Tinariwen were the first group to adapt traditional Touareg music onto electric guitars when they began making music in 1979. They are still led by original member Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, who has the most distinctive vocal and guitar style of the current male soloists.
Four of the six other musicians represented on "Amassakoul" have joined the group since their 2001 debut "The Radio Tisdas Sessions".And this second album is a more polished and varied affair, with less massive reverb and a good deal more studio tinkering on most songs.
As before, "Amassakoul" is dominated by distinctively gentle rocking rhythms (which emulate the gait of a camel in all its moods), call and response vocals, gnarled but simple guitar lines, ululations and handclaps.
New elements include the occasional use of flute on tracks like "Alkhar Dessouf" and the closing vocal drone of "Assoul". There's also more percussive detail than before best heard on "Eh Massina Sintadoben" and the vocal patterns of "Araouane" seem to show the influence of Jamaican-style chatting or rapping.
Otherwise, this is pretty much the Tinariwen fans will know and love. The shock of the new that made their first album so appealing isn't as strong, but just as nomads never stand still, they are moving on musically. --Jon Lusk

Desert tribes music Ela diz que é o ponto de ouvir um álbum que você não pode entender e ela não tem idéia de como é fácil baixar as letras e obter uma tradução instantânea para cada música, eu fiz isso centenas ou mais com álbuns diferentes, incluindo este, I a a great lover of desert tribes, want to have all the brains in the world says I am listening to something I don't understand, well I understand more than him and I am familiar with the desert music of Tinariwen, how hard it is it to get a translator for each track like not hard, here Mr got brain on no true common sense have a translation on me
Amassakoul 'N' Ténéré
THE TRAVELLER IN THE DESERT
I am a traveller in the lone desert
It's nothing special
I can stand the wind
I can stand the thirst
And the sun
I know how to go and walk
Until the setting of the sun
In the desert, flat and empty, where nothing is given
My head is alert, awake
I have climbed up and climbed down
The mountains where I was born
I know in which caves the water is hidden
These worries are my friends
I'm always on familiar terms with them and that
Gives birth to the stories of my life
You who are organised, assembled, walking together
Hand in hand, you're living
A path which is empty of meaning
In truth, you're all alone

Yes unlike their Muslim brothers in various parts of the Muslim world Tinariwen also being a desert tribe are matriarchal like the Mohawk Indian rather than patriarchal Muslim brothers and even though Tinariwen are matriarchal the laws of the Creator still applies, these particular deserts tribes are ran by the elder mother and tribally positioned women (and no don't think deviant sexuality because it also means that having a woman in your life is compulsory so the women choose the wives for the men) Muslim men have long covered their faces however with some desert tribes it is more of matriarchal practice I have a keen interest in desert tribes in fact the term Amassakoul means ''I am a travellers alone in the desert'' I have all their lyrics translate so I know what I am listening to
Amassakoul
I am a traveller in the lone desert
It's nothing special
I can stand the wind
I can stand the thirst
And the sun
I know how to go and walk
Until the setting of the sun
In the desert, flat and empty, where nothing is given
My head is alert, awake
I have climbed up and climbed down
The mountains where I was born
I know in which caves the water is hidden
These worries are my friends
I'm always on familiar terms with them and that
Gives birth to the stories of my life
You who are organised, assembled, walking together
Hand in hand, you're living
A path which is empty of meaning
In truth, you're all alone

Amassakoul: I am a wonderer in the desert, another desert saying from the western indigenous desert tribse is from the tribes known as the people of the stones, the saying is "Not all wonderers in the deserts are lost"
