[CANCELLED: November 5, 2021] Tinariwen
Tinariwen is a “Desert blues” band of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara Desert region of northern Mali. The band formed in 1979 in Tamanrasset, Algeria, but returned to Mali after a peace accord between 1990 and 1995. They gained interbational attention with their album Aman Iman in 2007.
I’ve heard they put on an amazing show.
When I saw they were playing Underground Arts I wanted to snatch up tickets but this weekend proved to be very busy with me going to a show on Thursday and Sunday.
But then on September 30, the tour was cancelled:
Imidiwan, Dear Friends,
After cancelling our European tour, we still had high hopes for North America and have been desperately waiting for the restrictions to lift. As the US travel ban will still be in place for more than five weeks, complicating visa procedures, our whole team simply won’t be able to fly to the US in time. Hence it is with deep regret that we have to cancel once again this whole US and Canadian tour. We are doing everything we can to postpone all shows for later dates and are hoping to see you all as soon as possible.
I’m sure they’ll be back and hopefully I’ll be available.
