I'm old Gregg!

Could you not play some of their music so we know what it sounds like?

[StreetLegal75]

@ArtFlunky could you not watch one of their many performances on Youtube?

they're great, wish them the best luck ever, I'm glad that Libya gives them the right of any other Libyans, I went to the desert of Libya.. Tuwareg they're the kindest people I ever met in my life... so kind even with each other.. i ate with them on the same plate.. it means a lot for them when you share them the food. their music, dancing, traditions, all comes from the desert's soul.. i love their soul, they love 2 b free. & they're free like eagles in the desert.. thanks for posting the video

@vivoviva thank you for your comment, that's an interesting story. Did you have any trouble getting into Libya? Did you cross from Italy?

@StreetLegal75

I was working in Libya, now days Libya is not as the people thinks, I used to work in the capital, modern City as other cities. Well I didn't face any problems, I was with various nationalities, plus we found a lot of tourists in the desert... Libya is more open now ;)

Don`t stop!

just read the interview in No Depression's last issue, and Buddy miller mentioned Tinariwen.I'm keen to hear more.

BTW, what album was the Hendrix soundtrack from?

[StreetLegal75]

The Hendrix track (Machine Gun) was from the excellent live album, "Band of Gypsys". Definately the best live Hendrix album I've heard of many.

You can hear the pace of a camels footsteps in their music. Loved the Hendrix too.

[WEIR4EVER]

I would have prefered you put Tinariwen's own music to this though.....

But thank for the message. I've done research in their neck of the woods, love them much. It's good they'd be talked about. Tuareg are a very special people. Understood things a lot of others haven't. ARASARAT!
