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.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #80- The These Are a Few of My Favourite Songs edition by Raquel Pinheiro, Monday 2nd @ Yé Yé radio

The Shirelles

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #80 – The These Are a Few of My Favourite Songs edition airs Monday 2nd, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

This edition has a self explanatory title. Some of my favourite songs, from different time periods, in one radio show. I have many more favourite songs, and could fill 24 hours, or more with them. But, here, there are 17, including my favourite song, Will Your Me Tomorrow, sang by The Shirelles.

Will You Love Me Tomorrow is also known as Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, title that, to me, gives a better view of the longing, fear, expressed by the lyrics. It was written by Carole King, and her by then husband and co-songwriter, Gerry Goffin and first recorded by The Shirelles in 1960.

Sometimes I Drink My Coffee by the Grave of William Blake is, if not thee song,is a song I would like to have written. It’s brilliant. I would love to have written A Lady of a Certain Age by The Devine Comedy, and Canção de Amigo by Um Zero Amarelo. And all the other choises, of course.

Baby, I Love You was originally performed by The Ronettes in 1963. It was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector, produced by Spector. Phil Spector produced The Ramones’ End of the Century, released in 1980, in which the band cover of Baby, I Love You appears.

North Marine Drive, Ben Watt’s debut album from 1983, is one of my all time favourite records. I could have picked any of the album songs. I went with the title track.

Aftermath ranks top on my favourite Rolling Stones albums, and Under My Thumb is without a doubt my Stones favourite song.

On the department of favourite albums, there is also Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs For the Deaf. Mosquito Song is the hidden song on the cd version of the album. And eerie, gentle, yet macabre, acoustic song, sang by Josh Homme, with Dean Ween, of Ween, on acoustic guitar, that grows in crescendo and ends with a bang.
