Feb 2022 tuareg
Despite not having listened to Tinariwen for a few years this 3/4 Tuareg thing just started happening so I went with it.
Not terribly imaginative lyrics - but I think it's got a cool "vibe"
Oh, and it now has my good friend Kev Willoughby on bass. (He spent many years playing with musicians in Senegal. I'm so lucky to know him!)
You can find Kev's music here...

Oh, this is beautiful! I love this special beat and repeating lyrics! Great work done!

I hear the Dead a little in this too. The main guitar line is great, but man, it's those little stabs in the left channel that really makes this song go. When everything drops out except claps at the end, it totally makes me hear where the beat is differently. I always get a little thrill when a song does that ("Dumb Dumb Dumb" by Teenage Fanclub does it, though it's totally different in every other way).

Oh wow yeah totally nailed that sound and vibe. Guitar tone is gorgeous. I like the claps and the bass is on point. Vocals are really nicely delivered too. This is really good.

Kind of a King Sonny Ade meats the Dead vibe! And tjat's a good thing. Indeed!

Oh I love the rhythm in this. The vocals have something Celtic to it. A lovely combo of different styles that shows music can borrow from all cultures and become a new thing. Wish people were like that too :-)

Well, I've never heard Tinariwen and now I must! I love the guitars and the rhythms and harmonies so much.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Not familiar with that bad, but this sounds awesome. Glad you're pumping out the great songs here!

Ooh, I’ve not listened to Tinariwen for ages - this has put me right in the mood to do so now! This is really nice; caught the vibe really well and the simple, repeated lyrics work superbly. Enjoyed it!
@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
Love the lyrics, they really add to this - and the repetition really works! Nice harmonies on them too, that adds something special. A definite feel good song with a great riff.
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nicely done: that groove and the drone-ish harmonies are super effective here.
@jimdgreen Feb 2022
This has vibe, buckets of vibe. Infant I think the vibe might vibes of it own!
Live this!

Oh you found the turbo button in the last days of FAWM. What a cool groove and percussion. A bit meditative but upbeat. Why does it make me happy? Cool to song along. And neat production.
