Description: Think you know “underground?” This is music played by men who literally fought on the side of rebel forces, when they weren’t entertaining at parties and weddings. Found by singer-guitarist Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, the multi-generational collective known as Tinariwen emerged from the Saharan sands to give voice to the nomadic Tuareg people of Mali and north Africa—mixing regional ethnic forms with Western pop influences within an electrified wall of sound. Tinariwen have won new fans on five continents, a journey that’s taken them from the refugee camps of Gaddafi’s Libya to top-ticket music fests. The Colbert Report and now, the Pollak Theatre.  For more information, please visit www.tinariwen.com OR www.monmouth.edu/arts
