Tinariwen : Amatssou (Turquoise Vinyl)Some people have commented that Tinariwen have always been a country band, albeit a North African take on that most North American of genres. That idea is magnified on 2023 album 'Amatssou', which finds the Tuareg band's trademark snaking guitar lines and hypnotic rhythms blending seamlessly with pedal steel, piano and strings from guest musicians including Daniel Lanois, the embellished arrangements lending the songs an epic, universal application.
