Tinariwen are about to launch a pair of catalogue tasks that sheds new gentle on their wealthy historical past.
They’ll launch Kel Tinariwen – an early cassette tape recorded within the early 90s that by no means acquired a wider launch – alongside first-ever vinyl reissues of 2007s Aman Iman and 2009s Imidiwan: Companions.
Kel Tinariwen is approaching vinyl, CD and cassette whereas Aman Iman and Imidiwan: Companions reissues come on restricted version colored vinyl and commonplace version black vinyl.
They’re launched on November 4 by Craft Recordings.
Aman Iman (Water Of Life) was Tinariwen’s third studio album, recorded in Mali’s capital, Bamako. It was produced by Justin Adams – Robert Plant’s guitarist and producer of Tinariwen’s debut album The Radio Tisdas Periods. In the meantime, Imidiwan: Companions was the band’s follow-up produced by Jean-Paul Romann, and recorded in Tessalit, the Malian desert village residence of band members Ibrahim Ag Alhabib and Hassan Ag Touhami.
