Tinariwen is a Grammy Award-winning group of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara Desert region of northern Mali. The band was formed in 1979, founded by Ibrahim Ag Alhabib. Their music is performed in the traditional West African music guitar style known as assouf that originated from the “great bend” region along the Niger River, between Timbuktu and Gao.

Tinariwen blend traditional Tuareg rhythms and melodies with electric guitars and traditional instrumentation with soaring vocals. All the songs are sung in their native Tamashek language.
