Vinyl LP pressing with digital download. For the last five years, Tinariwen have been busy criss-crossing the globe bringing their triumpant tours to all five continents and expanding their audience. During this time their beloved homeland in the Adrar des Ifoghas, a Saharan mountain range that straddles the border between north-eastern Mali and southern Algeria has, in effect, been transformed into a conflict zone, a place where nobody can venture without putting themselves in danger. These conflicts have forced the band into exile to record their 8th album, Elwan. A few friends dropped in during the sessions to add some magic to a few tracks including, Kurt Vile (electric guitar), Mark Lanegan (Vocals on 'Nànnuflày'), Matt Sweeney (electric guitar) and producer/guitarist, Alain Johannes (Cigarbox guitar). Sessions were also recorded in Morocco, where the band were accompanied by local musicians, in a land where they are considered musical legends. Tiwàyyen, Sastanàqqàm, Nizzagh Ijbal, Hayati, Ittus, TÉNÉRÉ TÀQQÀL, Imidiwàn N-Àkall-In, Talyat, Assàwt, Arhegh Ad Annàgh, Nànnuflày
