I'm digging that bassman playing upside down string lefty on a classical guitar with 4 strings. Re: All the debate on this African music's relationship to Blues. Blues's cycles came from these African roots rhythms and riffs. Thanks to Tinariwen and NPR. That was groovy!

All six (steel) strings are clearly visible at 8:12 and again at 14:59. The pin bridge and compensated saddle make it obvious that the guitar is not a classical, despite the slotted peg head.

I saw them live.. it was quite the beautiful experience
Edit: answer to the comment saying this and blues grew separately or entirely independent from each other: - More like it went full circle. It's gone around the circle a few more times since early Tinariwen days (Farka Toure with Ry Cooder, Boubacar Traore recording in Louisiana, etc.). The whole Tuareg and West African blues scene is fire now, also from Niger. Most of them mention listening to American blues and such (no denying where that came from originally) in the early days, and each added their own twist to it. These days it is my favourite type of music and I listen to a lot, it's the closest I know to a direct, primal massage of the senses. Makes some of the established Western superstars sound silly.

Actually, Tuaregs are a branch of the Berber tribe of Sanhadja which emigrated to North Africa way back before the Romans and the Phoenicians did. The last member of the original tribe of Sanhadja, an elderly lady, died about five years ago. There are still extensive archeological vestiges from their palaces, cemeteries and dwellings to be seen in the region of Hadramut, Yemen. Tuaregs are a type of very ancient Arab tribes.

Excelente. Escuchando esta música uno comienza a descubrir de donde viene una cantidad de música contemporánea. A pesar de que los tuareg son del norte de Africa y no de lo que se llama Africa Negra al sur del Sahara, igual hay energía similar a la música negra actual sobre todo en Norte, Centro y Sud América y también en Europa sobre todo en Francia. Brillante./ Excellent. Listening to this music one begins to discover where an amount of contemporary music comes from. Although the Tuareg are from North Africa and not from what is called Black Africa to the south of the Sahara, there is similar energy to today's black music, especially in North, Central and South America and also in Europe, especially in France. Sparkly./

Definitely Delta Blues influence, but that's because Tuareg music, and music from their region of Mali and other west African countries was brought over to the US with the slaves who used instruments like the guitar and banjo to recreate the sound of instruments like the Kora (which is a traditional Tuareg instrument). It's their music that influenced the Delta blues. The polyrhythm sound that is not completely in sync or harmonious at times is intentional, and is also used in delta blues
