The desert rockers return with a new single featuring two members of TV on the Radio
Tinariwen are a musical collective from Mali who have gained wide recognition for their brand of desert blues thanks to excellent albums and acclaimed performances at some of the world's biggest festivals. Incorporating Algerian rai, Egyptian pop and Led Zeppelin, their last album, 2009's Imidiwan, won an Uncut award for being "the most inspiring and richly rewarding album of the last 12 months". This year, Tinariwen release their fifth album, Tassili, and the first single, Tenere Taqqim Tossam, debuts here exclusively. Built around an undulating bassline and a spidery guitar figure, it features TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe whose vocal interplay on the chorus blends perfectly with the backing, enhancing but never transforming the song into anything other than a Tinariwen track.
? Tenere Taqqim Tossam is out 8 July on V2. Tassili will be released on 29 August
