Tinariwen : tuaregs from Mali

This year's favourite new discovery:

"To listen to Tinariwen is to believe once more in rock and its power. This is angry and passionate; it's dangerous music in the very best sense. Western bands might have forgotten how to rock as if their lives depended on it; Tinariwen can teach them." - allmusic.com

Favourite photographs from Flickr

I decided to give Flickr a try in Octomber this year. Since then I uploaded about 110 photographs and, as time was on my side, I gathered a list of favourites from other members. It is not a large list, maybe you would like to check it out here.
