I went through a phase where I was completely obsessed with this album, which was the first gnawa I heard

This was pre-streaming and pre-everything-is-available-all-the-time, so I wound up searching largely in vain for similar music, since a lot of other "gnawa" records were more in the world music vain and I was being a purist about it. Still think it's an incredible album. I have a harder time getting into Touareg guitar music - it seems like something that would be right in my zone and yet I just don't get excited by it. The marketing schtick used for it in the US is a bit annoying too, but w/e, you can't market a foreign artist in the US without some kind of hook.

I've never been as huge a Tinariwen fan as lots of other people; I prefer female vocalists to male, in that style, so Mariem Hassan and Tartit and now Les Filles de Illighadad are my favorites.
