Benoît Peverelli’s short movie is a visual testimony of what is the recording of a Tinariwen album.
In this case Amatssou (2023).
It was recorded in the winter of 2022 in the Sahara desert where the borders of Lybia and Algeria meet.
Tinariwen’s musical alchemy is unique to the rare reunion of its members which live in different villages and countries around the Sahara.
This delicate chemistry between the musicians is important to the creation of Tinariwen’s particular sound and sensible to its environment, the life in the desert and its communities.
The filming took place at the end of the recording of Amatssou during the final weeks when most of the music had already been created and recorded.
Silence, infinite landscapes and poetry are part of life in the desert, and it is perhaps at the core of Tinariwen’s miracle.
