Love it makes me so calming

[jerramthefett12]

Just gonna say i saw these guys live just a few minutes ago, i havent felt so relaxed and had my mind be so clear. this is great music

[vanpauls]

yeeaaah, stuff like this and stuff like Bob Marley(f.e. Stir it up) feels like purifying your mind after hours of listening to Skrillex, Combichrist, Animals as Leaders etc :D

[mss99044]

[iyahnoune15]

yakmahi assouf wan imidiwen ,i love you ayatma

[sandalwithin]

Thank you! I have never seen translations of their lyrics, but you can feel this so much that the meaning is universal, and can pretty much get the gist if the meaning regardless of the language barrier. But.....it is awesome to finally see, I love this band so much!!!

[SurvivalistChick]

This is the coolest music I have heard in decades. So original, so soulful, utterly mesmerizing. Wow!! "Desert Blues". Go figure.

[alecharli]

[acerb45666555]

[thiziri34]

@BOUTRIFICE this band is from the large sahara 'or desert in north africa in algeria exactly their language is not arabic they speak a local jargon .........their people is called touareg and they speak tergui .i lived there about 5 years i still remember the sahara ............facinating.

[appleblossem411]

Thanks Rob, just what I needed

[Kaschmit80]

Thanks, Rob, for suggesting this. I've always liked rai singers from Algeria (I studied belly dance for a year)--this is just another example of why that area of the world is so awesome!

[arussan]

If there is bridge between east and west, this is it !

[Carmoraucous]

Shana Tova & I find this on You Tube and I was baptised Catholic, but admire Buddhism - love these tunes

[SoundPlanner]

Desert Blues ++

[rainbowDETHkitty]

this is just so perfect.

[Ryanshinobi]

Arabic blues! I love it! Is it arabic, or persian?

[merouanus016]

@Ryanshinobi that's algérian music(south in the sahara) and for the language it's not arabic it's tamchaq(it belong to berber)

[amineredline]

@Ryanshinobi not arabic nor persian it's called tamchaq a local language spoken by touareg a people living in the great sahara ...this band is algerian ( north africa)

[bonnebon3000]

Wonderful music and moving photos. Rob, your wisdom is timely. Thank you. Merci.

[RAP70424]

I love this song, "what can I do with this eternal longing? Which inhabits my soul and my heart in flames". One day I will write that to the woman I love.

[MrRhettster]

thx for posting the lyrics- this song is great

[TheSeth1000]

I don't think I've ever heard such purity in the form of music. The spirit within this IS righteous AND eternal. Really, I'm not even worthy of commenting. Damn Powerful!

l3éééz dima tinariwin vive  amazigh

[doctorsizzle]

i train to this music...it has so much soul!

[mlapsinky]

Tinariwen is sooo inovative and their music is from the heart. I hope they do not become too commercialized. I seem to sense a little of that in a changing of thier style (especially in clothing) over the last few years. I suppose it is a challenge to stay grounded in your roots with so many different opportunities coming ones way.

[susa1303]

das ist so unglaublich schön zum niederknien

[FatihaAnsari]

[guguigugu]
