Tinariwen, Casa da MÃēsica, Porto, 25.05.2025.

Malian band Tinariwen arrived to Porto after the release of the compilation album Idrache (Traces of the Past).

Tinariwen means desert people, or people of the desert, Tamasheq. The band born in the borders of Argel and Mali in 1979, brought their assuf (longing, or longing for home), that we know as desert blues, to Porto.And what a concert it was.

Starting slow with Azawad, soon there was dancing and clapping from the stage, incentivinzing the audience to follow.

However, even if people were rocking on their seats, it would took an hour and twenty minutes for the room to stand up and dance.

By the encore, during Afric Temdam, Sastanaqam and Chaghaybou the front of the stage was filled with dancing people.On the other hand, the clapping and diverse vocals sounds from the audience to the stage stayed a staple during the performance.

The way the band uses guitars, divided between acoustic and electric, at times for electric guitars, on stage, in conjunction with the electric bass and traditional percussion is extraordinary. No instrument submerges another.

Tinariwen music is sublime. Transcendent. The songs are sang in Tamasheq, their feelings, the emotions, the soul fulfillment, universal.
