Lopa Kothari presents a concert from Liverpool by Tuareg desert rock band Tinariwen. The band formed in the mountains of the Sahara over 30 years ago, and their distinctive guitar grooves have spawned a whole genre of "desert blues". This concert was recorded last month in front of a packed house at the Invisible Wind Factory, a converted warehouse in the North Docks area. Lopa also talks to vocalist and guitarist Abdallah Ag Alhassane about how the band fuse traditional Toureg music with rock and blues, to express powerful lyrics about the problems of their home land in the Sahara since new borders were established in the 1960s. Lopa is also joined by Andy Morgan, who is writing a book about the band, and who provides an overview of their development and their significance in the wider context of Malian music.

This was recorded from the BBC Lossless stream currently being tested on Radio 3 - a first on Dime I think! At the moment it can only be received using latest Firefox browser - don't ask!! Adobe Audition CC was used just to cut unwanted material at beginning and end of the recording and for splitting into tracks.

Broadcast 48k/16bit has been retained and can be burned to CD using Foobar2000.
