The 25th Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival recently announced its 2007 lineup which includes the very talented band from North Africa, Tinariwen. First discovered in 2001 during The Festival in the Desert, they have been championed by greats like Carlos Santana and introduced to mainstream culture. On their new Album, "Aman Iman", they sing of freedom in exile. Although you probably won't understand the lyrics sung in French and Tamashek, the way they fuse the classic musical style of the Sahara with modern day blues speaks a universal language.
Tinariwen plays the 25th Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival on Sunday November 4, 2007 @ the Palace of Fine Arts.
