Split Works 开功 呈现：撒哈拉的灵魂TINARIWEN 中国巡演

“依然是他们所开创的音乐流派的王者”   – 《卫报》

“作为一支乐队，没有其他人能够做出更强烈的律动了。”   –《Q杂志》

TINARIWEN是一个启示，对于想让别人明白他们究竟有多么特别的我们来说，TINARIWEN既是一个梦境，又是一个梦魇。梦境是因为他们的故事真的如同史诗一般，充满了叛乱，枪支和吉他，沙漠流浪者，以及真正的撒哈拉布鲁斯，这都是可以让寻求刺激的记者和音乐爱好者们们趋之若鹜的黄金材料。然而，这又是一个梦魇，因为上面所说的所有元素里，没有一个可以真正反应乐队的精髓。

TINARIWEN是一个启示。他们的音乐追随者有：Robert Plant, Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, Chris Martin，而其令人着迷的沙漠布鲁斯，仿佛于世界、文化、人种之间搭建起一座桥梁，暗喻所有音乐流派的精神灵魂。他们电光般惊人而极具非凡的表现力，其独特性没有任何现场乐队能与之相比拟。

对于TINARIWEN即将到来的两场演出的期待，我们的兴奋早已超过言语。时间与地点：11月15日于上海万代南梦宫上海文化中心，11月16日于北京格瓦拉生活 - 糖果LIVE 三层。

TINARIWEN在史诗里描述摇滚梦，而梦境中讲述着关乎神秘与虚构的故事。乐队组建者Ibrahim Ag Alhabib成长于马里的废墟之中，在那里，四岁的他亲眼见证了父亲死亡。不久，在看过一部西方电影后，他利用自行车电线、一根棍子，以及一只罐头做出了属于自己的第一把吉他。

这支乐队成立于20世纪80年代利比亚的图阿雷格难民营。为了寻找工作和新生活，那里的游牧民族搬离撒哈拉沙漠的家园，最终迁移到这里。这种与都市生活的交互影响产生了意想不到的结果 --- 他们接触到了西方音乐。这其中最著名的是吉米·亨德里克斯(Jimi Hendrix)和美国蓝调风格(American Blues)的吉他颂歌。于是他们混合吸收了不同的音乐元素，用只有电池供电的吉他音箱(amps)在宿营地表演，演唱着属于他们民族的灵魂挽歌。

当革命在马里爆发时，他们离开了利比亚，放下了吉他，拿起了枪为图阿雷格独立战斗。当战事消失后，乐队又回到了音乐中，传递着充满了痛苦的美丽和寂寞诗歌的歌曲。他们的音乐在这个地区里广为流传，赢得了许多虔诚的追随者。在20世纪90年代末，他们被西方音乐家发现。于是第一次，他们的音乐走出了撒哈拉，被传播给整个世界。在接下来的十年，这些游牧民们走遍了世界各地，几乎在每一个著名的音乐节和地点表演，为世界呈现了一个鲜活的西部非洲沙丘的景象。

11月15日上海，万代南梦宫上海文化中心；11月16日北京，格瓦拉生活糖果LIVE三层。属于TINARIWEN的狂欢邂逅 --- 千万别错过。

Split Works Presents:
TINARIWEN

“Still champions of the genre they created.”– The Guardian

“As a band, no one lays down a heavier groove right now.” – Q Magazine

The soul of the Sahara.

TINARIWEN are a revelation. Both a dream and a nightmare for those of us trying to describe what makes them special.  A dream because their tale is indeed epic – rebellion, guns and guitars, desert nomads, the real Saharan blues –easy nuggets of gold to thrill-seeking journalists and music prospectors. A nightmare because none of these clichés really do the band justice.

TINARIWEN are a revelation. Among their fans: Robert Plant, Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, Chris Martin. Their desert blues is the spirit of all music: a bridge between worlds, between cultures, between peoples. Electrifying and singular. Distinctive like no other live band. 

We’re excited beyond words to bring TINARIWEN to China for two extraordinary shows. November 15 in Shanghai at the Bandai Namco Shanghai Base,  and November 16 inBeijing at Gewara Tango LIVE 3F.

TINARIWEN’s tale is the stuff of rock’n’roll dreams, bursting with myth and mythos. Founding member Ibrahim Ag Alhabib grew up in desolation in Mali, where he witnessed his own father’s death at the age of four. Later, after seeing a western film, he built his first guitar from a bicycle wire, a stick and a tin can.

The band was founded in the 1980’s in Tuareg camps in Libya, where the nomadic peoples had relocated to find work and a new life away from their homeland of the Sahara. This interaction with city life yielded unexpected consequences, they became exposed to Western music - most notably the guitar-driven anthems of Jimi Hendrix and the American Blues - which they mixed with their own soulful dirges which they’d perform in the camps by the fire with battery-operated amps.

When revolution broke out back in Mali, they left Libya behind, hung up their guitars and picked up guns to fight for the Tuareg independence. When the discord died down, the band returned to music, delivering songs imbued with aching beauty and lonesome poetry. Their music was bootlegged and traded around the region, earning them a devout following. Then in the late 1990s, they were discovered by Western musicians and for the first time, their songs left the Sahara and were introduced to the world. For the next ten years, the nomads now traveled the world, performing at nearly every notable festival and venue around the globe, providing the world with a vivid, evocative picture of the dunes of western Africa.

November 15 in Shanghai at the Bandai Namco Shanghai Base,  and November 16 inBeijing at Gewara Tango LIVE 3F. TINARIWEN are a triumphant encounter – don’t miss this.
