Tinariwen in KL, 2023

The purpose of good art is to suspend time in the midst of performance. The Grammy Winning Sahrawi Desert Blues Band, Tinariwen took KL to a tour of the Sahara Desert through the exhilarating music. I grew up on Rai Music in Muscat, and the melodic vocabulary was familiar this evening.

KL is a major cultural hub of the Nusantara, and the Palestinian flag shash around the lead singers neck, showed solidarity in with the humanitarian crisis.

Excellent work by the @senipusaka team to bring KL back on the cultural map of the region.

The energy on the floor was infectious.
