Tinariwen returns to stripped-back acoustic instrumentation and communal singing on their 10th album Hoggar, marking a reflexive step back after years of high-profile collaborations.

Siwa Oasis, located 450 miles from Cairo in Egypt's Western Desert, remains an isolated paradise with unique Berber culture, turquoise lakes, and vast sand dunes that have preserved its untouched character for centuries.

Tinariwen's new album Hoggar documents the violent displacement of Tuareg people in Mali caused by military clashes, Wagner mercenaries, and militant groups, using desert blues music to raise global awareness of atrocities ignored by politicians and journalists.

Tsodilo Hills preserve over 4,500 rock paintings reflecting complex spiritual, social, and artistic traditions of the San across tens of thousands of years.
