Emmaar

worldafrobeat

Tinariwen's 2014 release "Emmaar" was recorded in the Moroccan town of Ouarzazate, a departure from their usual Malian desert recordings. The album features a more expansive sound, incorporating subtle instrumentation and a slightly more produced feel than previous works.

Tinariwen is a musical group of Tuareg people from the Sahara Desert region of northern Mali. They are known for their unique style of desert blues, blending traditional Tuareg rhythms with rock and roll. Emmaar was released in 2014, marking a more polished and internationally-influenced phase in their career, following their growing global recognition.
