I laughed soo hard when I noticed the guy in the back playing the dried vegatation(??) WITH A BIC LIGHTER!!!

[habertree]

I like to see they rock it old school with their attire, and not just with 14th Century robes: I spy with my little eye a calculator watch at 3:32.

SO OLD SCHOOL.

[mayonaiseizationable]

This is beautiful

[aiktai]

@mayonaiseizationable WHY

[mayonaiseizationable]

@aiktai I love it! That's all.

[ponyundercover]

They have a dude that looks a lot like Arabic Wayne Coyne. Shame that he's not in this video.

[chinotwinkie]

i feel like every time the drummer smiles, the singer is saying something funny.

[chegeraut]

nice

[ekzoekzo]

those guys are crazy good

[flowersarealive]

this is very interesting....

[barimando]

Love the use of the pentatonic scale. The oldest, most used and versatile scale in the world.

[timbulb]

So when do they start adorning their robes? And with what were they supposed to adorn them?

[sabramat]

THE BEST ~~~~~ LOVE TINARIWEN ~~~~~

[ItsybitsyspiderMamma]

rock that pumpkin

[nccmrm97]

@ItsybitsyspiderMamma That's a pumpkin he's playing, or that's the name you gave it?

[ItsybitsyspiderMamma]

@nccmrm97 I really don't know, but it looks like a pumpkin, right? 

[Aberfifth]

Lovely!

[stigandr5]

Wow, that's a nice addition to the Tiny Desk Series!

[XguitarrockerX]

How I love this band... Makes me travel to Africa without even going.

[youngnam]

sublime.

[lozziecap]

This is nothing short of delightful.

[joeb094]

I was overjoyed to see this in my subscriptions. Never expected to see them here. Love it. They are true rock n roll, more badass than you will ever be. Screw drumsticks, Tinariwen (which means deserts) has a lighter!

[redshift912]

@joeb094 no one thought of that band name yet..very surprised

[jonnykid555]

these guys should totally have done music for the first assassins creed game

[zkshism]

@jonnykid555 I lol'ed hard at your comment hahaha!

[gQuaresma07]

@jonnykid555 these are berbers from north africa, AC happened in nowadays israel, lebanon and syria.

so they are kind of different cultures

[LexHills1]

Didn't expect to see these guys doing an NPRM T.D.C! Nice one, guys! Gorgeous stuff, and gorgeous album :)
