Tinariwen is a Tuareg group from Mali; they were formed in 1979. In 2011, they won in this category with their album,
Tassili.
Amadjar is Tuareg for ‘The foreign or unknown traveller.’ The album was inspired by the group’s inability to return home due to sectarian violence and islamic militancy after their 2018 tour. The group’s founder,
Ibrahim Al Lamida, saw his father executed in 1963 while
Abdallah Al Lamida was kidnapped in 2013.
All Music reports that, “
The group instead decamped in Morocco and embarked on a multi-month journey through Western Sahara and Mauritania, collaborating with local musicians at several stops along the way and writing songs while camped out in the desert.”
