Tuareg musicians Tinariwen have announced their new album Amajdar, which is out September 6 via Anti-. The album features Cass McCombs, the Bad Seeds’ Warren Ellis, Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’Malley, and others. Listen to their new song “Taqkal Tarha,” which features Micah Nelson (son of Willie Nelson), below.
The album is reportedly an exploration of the political, social, humanitarian, and environmental issues in their home country of Mali. It follows their 2017 album Elwan.
