Philadelphia's own BASIC, Chris Forsyth on guitar, Nick Millevoi on baritone guitar and drum machine, and Patrick Avery on percussion and electronics, delivered an electrifying set as the opening act for Tinariwen. BASIC's performance was marked by a dynamic fusion of rock, jazz, and funk
In a spectacular display of passionate and driven musicality, the powers of Tinariwen and support act LEAO asserted the status of indigenous voices, proudly defiant in the face of those who would seek their marginalisation, if not complete silencing.
Tinariwen is not desert rock, as in Yawning Man, Kyuss and QTSA, but desert blues, a synthesis of traditional West African music, funneled through guitar-fusion, with an influence of blues and Americana.
