Jeremy just called my attention to Tinariwen. They are a Touareg band who are said to be the first Touareg band to play electric guitars. You can read about them on Wikipedia, check their website, or their Myspace page. Thanks Jeremy.

    Good morning.

    I have just added your blog to a collection of all Nigerian blogs which I am currently building and which can be found here: The Nigerian Super Blog . On the site you will be able to read posts from 197 Nigerian blogs ALL from one place (this number will increase as we continue to add new blog feeds).

    The preview version of The Nigerian Super Blog was launched on the 1st of July 2007 and the site is still very much in active development (thus you might experience a bug here and there). We’d be happy if you can find time to check it out (I promise you are going to love it because you will be able to read all your favorite blogs and more from one place!). Plus it will help much more people to find and enjoy your blog.

    We’d also appreciate any kind of feedback, (blogs @ naijalive . net) and possibly a post about us. and if you really like the site, please tell people about it and add a link to us in your blog.

    Other ways you may support this FREE project is by helping us with links or pointers to Nigerian blogs so that we can add them if they are not already there.

    Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

    Loomnie! I posted about Tinariwen a couple of times, along with links to videos and mp3’s. Have you ever heard of FreshlyGround from Capetown? I posted about them three or four times. I don’t recall the names of the individual posts but you’re welcome to jump on my blog and search!

    mon plaisir Loomnie! Doesn’t their music remind you of a camel lolloping through the desert? Something about the slow mesmeric syncopation methinks..

    Oh yea, Jeremy, I like the cool and deliberate movement of their music, simple and enchanting…. Sadly, I haven’t been to the Sahara, but I plan to do that sometime soon…
