Tonight, North African blues band Tinariwen plays the House of Blues with Sophie Hunger. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band’s Gregory Davis and Roger Lewis make guest appearances on the band’s new album, Tassili. The Los Angeles Times has a good account of the band’s story, which includes lives defined by political unrest. This video gives a solid sense of the band and its world.
