I've been listening to this group a good part of the day and can confirm that they are great if you have any love of the blues, folk, traditional, world music etc. A wonderful discovery found via the Amazon.com top 100 list.

[TheCouscous]

Working 12 to 15 hours a day, I wish to have a simple peaceful nomadic life one day.

What a way to live beautiful.

[OceanderTethyseus]

@TheCouscous

flies, mosquitos, tape worms, malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis, dysentary, infected water, infected food, corrupt cops, roving bandits with automatic rifles, child prostitution, child slavery and child trafficking, rampant theft and violence.

[NShutterbug]

@OceanderTethyseus Poisoned Gulf waters and marine life, Wall Street & Insider trading crime, excessive bonuses, denial of medical coverage to those covered while filling the pockets of Insurance CEOs, 50 million medically uninsured, biggest gap between wealthy and poor in history, infected food recalls, vehicle recalls, #4 in the world in gun crime, #7 in the world in road fatalities, increased homelessness, poverty. Choose your poison. (The Tinariwen look very healthy to me.)

[OceanderTethyseus]

@NShutterbug

Mr. A says, "Shit tastes good".

Mr. B says, "No, shit tastes bad".

Mr. C says, "No, piss tastes bad, therefore shit must taste good".

You are Mr. C.

[NShutterbug]

@OceanderTethyseus Your logic is flawed. It was all about people in glass houses not throwing stones.

[OceanderTethyseus]

@NShutterbug

he plainly touted the simple beauty of life in a 3rd world country. i'm saying that beauty is pure fantasy and i'm right about that.

then you basically said that life in a 1st world country is no better. i never said or suggested otherwise so and i am not "throwing stones", as you put it.

you also stated that the Tinariwen look very healthy, implying agreement with the original post's fanciful view of life in a 3rd world country. tits.

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus Retard? thats what you are mate suck cock.

[OceanderTethyseus]

@TheCouscous

good come back, ya shit brain asshole

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus I have not the time to mess with petty little men like you. Your just a joke and no one takes your seriously, like i said before and I will say it again your a sad old man.Get a life.

I make big money and i have the best in life because I'am king.So when your competent enough which you will never be come see me until then put up and shut the fuck up Biatch. Your a little fish in a sharks pool.

[OceanderTethyseus]

@TheCouscous

hahahaa you're a sad pathetic mess

yeah, you're king, alright, King of Queers, that is

go run and beg your mommy for a few bucks to buy some markers to huff

sayonara, ya dopely little shit bag

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus I'am Business man what do I need to be sad for i make people like you quiver every day, I live a life of luxury drive top of the rage cars live in a big house travel the world you see! Bucks we don't deal in them this is the United Kingdom where we live>The doller don't mean shit to me nor has it any value just like you.

[OceanderTethyseus]

@TheCouscous

the only thing you drive is a giant butt plug up yer ass

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus well actually we not agreed on nothing apart from the fact that i'm the the King and a Molem(as the Americans would write it) knarley dude whoo hoo. dont forget the KING what am i the King.

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus Once a piece of American shit always a piece of American shit,who asked for your opinion anyway?

America is your world wake up dude and see the world your just a sad aging old man you probably cant even get a erection. Scum.

[OceanderTethyseus]

god, you are stupid.

just because i'm telling you the 3rd world is a filthy, dangerous, and uncomfortable place to live (which it is) it doesn't mean i'm saying the 1st or the 2nd world is any better.

the 1st world model is not sustainable and human beings are completely destroying the planet and quickly.

and at least half of the problems in the 3rd world were caused by exploitation from the 1st world.

i get all that.

[OceanderTethyseus]

my only point is that life in a 3rd world country is absolutely miserable and lethal for all but those in power.

most people in the 3rd world live absolutely horrific lives. even finding clean drinking water is a serious problem for most.

so wipe the shit off your lips and stop dreaming about other men's erections, you scrawny little fucking twat.

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus Dreaming about you Loool, i got women that will make your Little pinner puke just by looking at them, get a life rather then sitting on the computer all day and wanking. When your ready for the big league then come and see me knob.

[OceanderTethyseus]

okay, you're just openly gay now. but i'm glad that you and the female impersonators you trade shankers with are at least enjoying yourselves.

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus once a prick always a prick.

[OceanderTethyseus]

you're gay up your ass, ya little fuckin retard

[TheCouscous]

@OceanderTethyseus Oh yeah say my name Bitch I'm the Fucking KING! what am I? the KING.

[OceanderTethyseus]

@TheCouscous

yes, quite so, you're the King of All Queers. we're agreed on that much, at least.

[Lilievadrouille]

Does anybody know the title of the song played from 7'40? I love it!

[1dedz]

@Lilievadrouille hello! the title of the song is MATARADEN ANEXIAN i give you also a link watch?v=UbdiCDsilCs bye!

[angelina812]

Thank you for this well made documentary. I have been a fan of Tinariwen for many years now (having heard them in Mali in 2004), and this video really captures what they are about. I particularly love the lyrics with the music, so much power in the stories.

C'est vraiment magnifique cette culture et identité Amazigh qui est renier et mépriser par le pouvoir corompus Algériens

Tanmirth - Merci pour le partage

[revcafe]

Everyone - Keep telling your story...so many want to know...it helps tear down the barriers between us...we can be one without all being the same...keep your culture and appreciate those of others, and the world won't lose the last of its beauty...enough damage has been done, enough blood spilled, and we don't want to take the disaster to the extreme do we? But gentleness isn't a completely lost virtue, respect still has the power to unite, and love can heal every wound...

Viva Tinariwen

[revcafe]

check out this artist on itunes, writing about the same things. YouTube won't let me post a link, but search Lazar One Kingdom and you'll find it. From one overcomer to all the others - power to the people, the power of love makes us One!

[ruimcs]

Long live to Tinariwen!

[donia301]

u a nice human :)) peace from the other part of the world

@donia301 U2, and thank you...XO..peace to you wherever you are...it's comforting to know you're there.

[revcafe]

@donia301 @zanak @algrand90 @TheCu8tc My son suffered a mysterious case of massive organ failure and nearly died in 2/2011 but miraculously survived to record a 4-song EP Chants, Woes & Lamentations under the name Lazar. Today, only 2 weeks later, his new song, written with the people bravely rising up against oppression around the world in mind, has posted at iTunes too. Please go to iTunes, listen, review and share! We love you all.

[algrand90]

revcafe oh my god please dont do that mistake !!!

those are nor arabs they are amazighs

amazighs are the original population of north africa

and concerning horses i advice you the barb its the original horse of north africa too

[revcafe]

@algrand90 Didn't know all that when I was 9, but I did learn, yet few here know that...sorry for any offense, and thanks for the information for any other horse lovers who may be reading!

[zanak]

@revcafe beautiful spirit ! keep it alive

Peace

[revcafe]

@zanak Fire's burning bright...take care...it's good to know you're out there! Peace to you.

[TheCu8tc]

@revcafe dude where did that come from?

sent a tingle down my spin

[revcafe]

It won't let me post the link, but if you search Lazar + either One Kingdom or Chants, Woes & Lamentations you'll find it.

[MrAylen333]

@revcafe those poeple are not arabs ; they are Imazighen , they can not even speak an arabic word ; see Wikipeadia  and search for the name "touareg" or "tamacheq"

[Tracyfeliz]

Fabulous music I love it

[zahia26]

I love you Ibrahim!

[Eniola0ne]

Berber are not Arab,Berber have unique Culture,langauge and way of life. Arab is invader in North africa. Berber have live in Africa for thousand of Years before Arab invader, People Like Hanibal,Servanus, Tarik that rule part of spain were all Berber and other great legend of Past.

Some Berber may marry Arab later, In Africa we have many People that similar to Tuareg, Like Beja,Sidamo,Somali,Fulani,Wada­be,Tudu,Suwah,Oromo,Nubian,Wat­usi,and Many more als African we must tell our own story.

[sanfordhousing]

I worked and lived in Algiers years ago I went to a music concert of Berber's they sang in Kabyle it was a wonderful experience the cry of joy a blessing this ancient culture has much to teach us ,the music is spiritual like the Sahara a mystery captivating ,music is the history of the people, it touches the heart by reminding us of their journey through this world the caravans the sky the sun desert and stars all things of great beauty to the eye of the beholder,Is not life a blessing?

[msteras]

He reminds me of Bob Marley... I love their music and I will see them on 4/22 in Chicago. I don't understand their language, but I do understand the beauty in their music.

[PlayT0E]

These songs are great, but to be understood in the world they need to add in an English language vocal track.

Suggestion ... sing in the original Toureg language, but with cooperative vocals in English. This can be done by taking the repetitive sections and using the English translation for various parts.

[DHARMA0310]

They speak in tamazight , a bereber language, check it out at google.

[hema1109]

What languge they are speaking, french or Targi, can the other amazigh understand them

[chaouia11]

[toufikw]

[nowhere8]

Wow..I appreciate the translated documentary..very moving. All humans are created equally..ancient knowledge from the heart. And to live in the desert? respect.. It's sad what they had to go through with the rebellion..World Peace!

[braima2007]

The music touched my soul and I relate to it as we are the tribes of north-west sudan. We share the smae oentatonic music scale and we also share the desert. I loved the starting vocal which resembles our "dobait" sang by bedwins during their long desert trips. Pleae tell me the name of the starting vocal shown at the very begining if the clip.

[nobaku71]

im hooked.

[1niels]

Whats the title and from wich album is the song that starts at 7:50 ?

[lolanmb1]

Hey 1niels, the track that kicks in at 7.50 Is called Matadjem Yinmixan and it's from the Album Aman Iman. It's a seriously silky tune in my opinion!!!!!

[1niels]

ah thanks! :)

[aidanooo]

thagrawla you clown, these artists are from North africa, Ethnic Tuaregs from the iterior of the Sahara. keep your small minded crap tp yourself!!!

[aylale614]

Thagrawla means; Revolution

[DH1979amsterdam]

The documentary is awesome.. Their music is entrancing. Vive tinariwen !!

[killslay]

awesome video thanks for putting it up. i appreciate the songs even more now knowing what some of them are about, whereas before i listened purely because i liked how it sounded without knowing the meaning.

[CrossBonesAlex]

I love especially the last words, the saying of the Touareg - the earth has only one sun - all humans are equal - I love Blues, Jazz and Fusion, now I love Touareg Music, the Touareg Blues - Guitars and Drums - Wonderful music!

[cubanpirate]

Amazing!

Viva Tinariwen!

[pinkerbellsw]

I've been in Morocco for a month and later Tinariwen came to Portugal, to my home town and I watched them play along with Vieux Farka Touré. And while we were in the show room you could feel the energy in the air. They're quite amazing. Thank you for posting the video.

[RowanSpry]

Whats Morocco like to live in? Im 16, and im from the UK, would love to live there for a little while at some point. CERTAINLY gonna atleast visit.

[pinkerbellsw]

I think you should go visit first and then you make up your mind, 'cause I can tell you how beautiful I think Morocco and people from there are but it's my opinion and maybe we have different tastes.. But I think you'll love it :)

[skkalu]

great video, i'd love to see Tinariwen live!

[Acoran]

Glorius Tamasheqs!! All tamazgha supports you! from Canary islands!! Still fighting four our amazigh culture!

[rezeski]

Well, that interview with their spokesman at the end is fascinating. wonderful.

[ibnrushd]

I was born in europe but because I'm from moroccan origin it's difficult to explaine why I feel a strong conexion with touaregs and other berber people in algeria, tunisia, niger and all over north-africa.

[gixer111]

Its not difficult my Friend,, Its in your blood.. Respect.. Amazing people..

[lumirees]

Excellent vid. Thanks for posting!

i discovered them for about 5-6 months ago and i just love the music...

[vipelere]

[springbok37]

can you all stop this? peoples from north africa, middle east, they are all beautiful, they all make beautiful music, they all have a beautiful culture.

[4r4biq]

Of course North African's are arabs.....im algerian and i speak....yep u guessed it ARABIC!

[bsloow]

Not all north africans are arabs..

The Berbers are not Arabs, they are North African autoctone people..

Arabs invaded our coutry and colonized us all.

Of course now we are all mixed and that's good.

I love both cultures Arab and Imazighen.

p.s I'm Algerian too.

Peace.

[nissou1]

nope man.. I am sorry. read you history. you are eather an arab colonist or you deny your own berber culture. North african people are 99% of berber decent. that's where our culture come from! not from the arabs in the middle east. the only thing we have in commen is the religion and partly the language, only partly. go on and talk algerian with a real arab, he wont understand a thing!! so believe it or not you are most probably berber. read your historie :P

[4r4biq]

dude i dont even know what the question is.....?

[anarchycastro]

i come from new zealand, our native people are the Maori, the majority speak english like me, does that make them and I english?

[YahyaGhamudi]

dude you read history, cause when the arabs invaded the north african regions, there werent any big cultures, the berbers were few, and maybe there were some descendants of the fenician colonies, or descendants of the carthagean empire, or vandals, but they mixed with arabs, and adopted their culture (a lot of it) so i dont think that you could say that northern africa is 99 percent the descendant of berbers...

[thagrawla]

Take your Arabic language and please go back to the Middle East to join your Arabic brothers fighting the Jews or the Christian Arabs. Which Culture did the Arabs bring, killing babygirls? The desert culture of robbery? Go...

Grtz An Amazigh (Berber).

[MozareX]

stupid men...

Tu es misérable.

(from France,from Berberie,from Kabilie,From World)

[YahyaGhamudi]

hey... you talkin about how algerian is different than the language in other arab countries... THEY CALL IT DIALECT!!!--all arab countries have their own dialect, some are similar, some are different. And excuse me, look at the arquitecture, the buildings, do you think that those come from berbers, or what? Both cultures are rich, but I wouldn't say,that north africa is almost all berber.

(ohh and im half Lybian, and i speak with algerian people, and even though its different, i understand...)

[toufikw]

berber is no dialect , if it wasnt the arab colonisation of north africa, we would have been up there with the other nations ,arabs conquered us by the name of islam, they took over our land ,killed and repressed our people , the berber people ,wether targuis , kabyles , chaouis , chelhi...et j'en passes

and i thank my friend grandjoh for his comment, at least this guy is aware and knows something about history

[Amrfaham]

this is what the french colonization taught you.

They succeeded to wash your brains indeed.

[zifa]

we are imazighen :berbers

not arabs

can you even look in google for a defeintion of tuaregs or berbers

we had wars againts arabs before anyone start it against them

[asssssskicker]

no Arab can make such great music. So please stop calling north africans "Arabs" you're insulting us.

We are Imazighen.

Every human being has the potential to make great music. Don't be a racist jackass.

You can't change the facts. Go get a life.

Since seeing 'Tinariwen' for the first time on sunday night at Glastonbury i am now an absolute life long fan... I always wished i'd been old enough to see Jimi Hendrix and feel that feeling that people always talk about when witnessing something so new and different that it goes beyond belief... I can't describe as well as i'd like to the many facets to this amazing musical experience... Here are just a few... Entrancing... Haunting... Fufilling... Magical... Spiritual...

[shaneshaky1]

you are so right! i seen them in edinburgh in summer 07! they literally blew the roof off! iv seen many great bands that are legends but tinariwen are mesmerising! they awoke spiritualitty in me that i knew was always there! fantastic!, they are playing here in scotland again soon! i cant wait!, i would love to see them in desert tho! with the massive starry skies!, beautiful dunes! i can dream! respect to everybody who appreciates the mighty tinariwen!

Hi,

I am from india and I can understand the difficulties of the nomads of the desert.We have very similar people who are nomads of the Rajasthan Thar desert in india and whose life is filled with music and camels. The annual camel festival takes place at Pushkar in rajasthan is world famous.Their music is also very unique to the desert using folk string instruments and folk dances.Hope all cultures of the world live in harmony.
