The 20th Anniversary edition of Tinariwen’s debut album The Radio Tisdas Sessions is remastered and includes a previously unreleased track, exclusive photos, and new liner notes. Featuring songs by Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, Kedou Ag Ossad, Mohamed Ag Itlal (‘Japonais’), and Foy Foy, the album blends West African traditional music with electrified rock, capturing the Tuareg’s nomadic heritage and their struggle as a displaced people. Critics call their sound “desert blues,” expressing deep longing for a lost homeland.
