The songs of Tinariwen rise up and ambush you from behind a sand dune whose crest defines the boundary between the sphere of the artist and that of the warrior. The most arresting of the many images which have forged the legend of the group is that of Kheddou Ag Hossad setting off to attack the Malian army post of Menaka near the frontier with Niger, Kalashnikov in hand and an electric guitar strapped to his back. This skirmish took place on June 30th 1990. It was the event that launched the second Touareg rebellion, which lasted three years and claimed thousands of victims. Tinariwen assumed a double edged role during the conflict; as guerrillas involved in the liberation struggle of the Adrar des Iforas region in the north of Mali and as poet musicians busy forging their very own style during the many after-combat fireside gatherings...."
