TAKAAT - Is Noise Vol. 2 [10"]

Tinariwen are the grandfathers of what we know today as Tuareg guitar music. Started in refugee camps in Algeria and Libya in 1979 Tinariwen created a new sound of Tuareg music that pushed the tradition into a new direction. Ahmoudou Souleymane and I all came to Tinariwen in different ways throughout our life and there is no doubt the importance the music has on all three of us. Just as much as Tinariwen pushed what Tuareg music is that was the idea with TAKAAT is to push the tradition even further create something new create something fresh that blends our love for bands like Tinariwen but also our love of heavier more chaotic bands. Is Noise Vol. 2 includes the TAKAAT versions of a couple of our favorite Tinariwen tunes. Unlike the original Tinariwen versions these songs are unedited shredding jams recorded live to tape in Washington D.C. This is raw this is noisy this is TAKAAT. -Mikey Coltun 'Damn that's very good.' - Ahmoudou Madassane
