8 awesome photos of Tinariwen live at Electric Brixton, 09/08/17
The desert blues stars are a mesmerising live act
Tinrwen are currently in the midst of a massive world tour and stopped off in Electric Brixton for a dazzling performance.
Quite easily one of the best live bands in the world, the chance to see them perform songs from their new album Elwan and beyond could not be missed.
They recorded Elwan in the desert of California’s Joshua Tree National Park, as well as in M’Hamid El Ghizlane–an oasis in southern Morocco. Bringing the essence of the desert to the chaos of London was a welcome escape, and we'll be seeing much more of Tinariwen over the coming weeks and months.
