Tinariwen Tickets

The Tinariwen concert was an experience of incredible music! The band is so talented and they showcased their amazing musical style!

Became familiar with Tinariwen's music via last.fm, and on a whim, decided to find out if they were touring: they were, and their Howard Theatre performance coincided well with a road trip I was planning with my daughter...took a 750 mile detour and caught the show, and wasn't a bit disappointed. Could tell from their music that they'd be a great live band--they delivered.

Tinariwen was great. We loved the group and their music.The newly redone Howard Theater was beautiful.

Fantastic Show! Would recommend them to anyone interested in a fun show.

One of those concerts that you felt sorry for anybody who missed it. Tinariwen's music is at once foreign and familiar; you've never heard anything like it and yet there's something recognizable happening. If I had to describe them to someone I would say they are a Saharan Grateful Dead, or a Libyan Grateful Dead. There music is spacey but it follows a groove. Friday at the Paradise was amazing. The room was sold-out or almost sold-out. They came on at about 10 and played for close to two hours. Visually they are stunning; all dressed in robes from head to toe, and playing a mix of western instruments and instruments native to their country. The fact that most of their songs are in another language just adds to the coolness.

best. show. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever

The concert was amazing! It was spiritual, inspirational and moving. The guitar playing was fantastic. The atmosphere was spellbinding. Tinariwen are a unique, incredibly talented band.

excellent vibrant concert!! my first experience attending their concert and I'll come to see them again...

It's really amazing when a band from the deserts of Mali can come to the Village and just connect with a New York audience. You could just feel the warmth that the crowd felt for these guys. The only downer was they were lacking there female vocalist.

This was a great concert. I love this band. The music was eclectic and the venue was just the perfect size.

Tinariwen's long and sometimes painful history comes through in their haunting, impassioned show. Vocal and guitar lines interweave gorgeously, punctuated by powerful percussion. Even in the songs about revolution and loss there is a joyfulness in being alive in the moment. These warrior-artists carry the desert in their souls. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Malian music or is curious about the roots of American blues. Just spellbinding.

Overall I would rate this group a solid ten. They were on time, very interactive with the audience, and put on a fabulous show. They also made themselves available after the show for pic., autographs, etc. Good time and great fun! The venue was easy to find and accessible to all. It's certainly not the Taj Mahal but is clean, orderly and priced accordingly. There was a problem that night with the restrooms not having hand soap or paper towels in the dispensers. Parking is an issue and I would recommend taking the subway train in.The staff was very accommodating and friendly.The coat check room was a bonus at this venue.Thanks to all for a great night out!

What more to say. I've been listening to these guys for a few years and always loved them. But they take it up to a significantly higher plane live. The prominence of the drums was among many pleasant surprises.

I really had a great time. If you want a unique and really amazing performance experience, you should check out this band. They are Rock and Roll in the fullest sense of the word, world music. You will also hear a bit of Flamenco or rather where Flamenco comes from, the deserts of the Sahara!

This is such an amazing concert! I danced the night away. Purely beautiful music. The opening act, Sophie Hunger, mega-sucked though.

One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I knew they would be good but ... WOW. Amazing groove, amazing sound, great jams and great energy. Also blown away by Sophie Hunger - the opening act. Hadn't heard of her before but she was very impressive.

I was at the stage to see these guys! They are fantastic! Got to even hang out with them a few hours after the show!

Once again Tinariwen has produced a fantastic album and played an even better show. Their soulful blues and arid sound produces an environment of longing but their conviction keeps your soul refreshed like a Saharan oasis. Tinariwen is, without a doubt, the greatest band on tour anywhere.

I really don't know how to put seeing Tinariwen live into words. It's like experiencing sound for the first time. Amazing.

Unbelievably good night at the El Rey. Tinariwen were epic! Much dancing and the atmosphere was rockin. These guys can play music!!! Bonus was walk on addition of lead and bass from TV on the Radio and Flea for the last couple of tunes. Obviously, they feel the same about these incredible musicians from the Sahara. Really eclectic and world style crowd. DJ mixed some awesome tunes too.... What more can I say!
