When you hear this music clan -- group just doesn't seem to be the right designation for a band of nomad desert musicians/soldiers -- a listener can hear the calm of the desert night air and the serenity of the musicians who live there. The Taureg people truly seem to be of the land and never more so than here on the band's third album, Aman Iman. The loping percussion and the circular guitar lines conjure wide-open desert images evoked in the repetitive grooves. Some may grumble that the members are playing much as they did on the first and second albums, blending Arabic song structures, desert wails, and primordial blues guitar riffs, but for it to be any different would be akin to asking the people in Tinariwen to change who they are. Never have words been truer than those of the title, but this album also appends that sentiment, proving that music is life for the desert Taureg too. --Tad Hendrickson

Atmospheric? Like a stone on your head........2007-07-04

Finding Tinariwen made me happy. This group does to rhythm what Anoushka Shankar does to the 8 note scale. These are the strongest rhythms I've ever heard. They are something alive, you want to step aside to let it pass, you want to spin it and ultimately you want to dance with it.

This in NO way fits within my definition of atmospheric music. That genre was done to perfection by Eno 15 years ago. No, this music may invoke trances, it may put you on a plane to Timbuktu it may make you inexplicably desire to wrap your entire head in a sheet. It may cause you to dance your wife out of the living room, down the hall and into the bedroom. But it will not let you ignore it.

If you find yourself thinking this is atmospheric music then you're not listening. Consider it rock music. Turn it way up until plaster falls off lathe and then you will hear what you have missed.

5 stars squared.

Tinari"wonderful".......2007-06-14

A mixture of funky guitar,traditional drums, and an array of upbeat instruments nicely compliments the seriousness and heaviness of the songs lyrics. All songs are translated for you in the "liner notes". Highly recommended.

Great Album!.......2007-05-15

Just like Amassakoul, Aman Iman is some of the best music on the entire planet. A mix of blues and northern African styles that puts you in a trance.

Traditional real life in 2007.......2007-05-14

I like the way he touches the guitar. At first I saw Tiraniwen three years ago and was not so impressed, but little by little I got the feeling for this desert rebel. He is wonderful bluesy and still totally based in his Mali culture. What I like very much is that he feels for all Mali tribes and cultures. He is a good example for harmony and peace. I want to visit the Desert Music Festival in Timbouktou in 2008.

Hypnotic and enthralling.......2007-05-12

Tinariwen has often been described as "John Lee Hooker in the Sahara." While that baseline is a decent enough introduction, it's not nearly enough to embrace this band. This album follows Amassakoul, my first Tinariwen CD, and Aman Iman surpasses Amassakoul in every way. Depending on your mood, the music is soothing, hypnotic, challenging and stirring. The variations worked on repetitive figures reward repeated listening. If you haven't heard Tinariwen, Aman Iman is a great place to start.

Innocuous Soft Jazz Version of Flamenco.......2000-07-29

If you are looking for pleasant background music, this "soft jazz" take on flamenco will do. It is harmless enough, as long as you don't let it dissuade you from listening to the genuine article.

Blazing Flamenco spiced with Persian, rock, & jazz........1999-11-19

With the release of his first CD, Manuel has leaped to the highest plateau of Rumba, Flamenco, & Latin guitar playing occupied by the elite such as Strunz & Farah, Armik, Lara & Reyes, and Mark Antoine. He's gone to a different level though by bringing in an electric guitar, as in Zingar, into a genre that rarely, if ever, sees it. Each piece is brilliantly crafted and wonderfully executed. Incredibly captivating! One of the best CD's in this area of music.

A beautiful and unique talent.......1999-04-10

Manuel Iman's guitar on this CD brings an originality and exceptional quality feelings expression. Listening melodies as different as "Flowers in the desert" or "Journey itself" pieces, we enjoy with one ot the most innovative talent insight the World music's artists.

Una fusion de culturas musicales de incomparable calidad.......1999-04-04

Manuel Imán nos permite gozar en este CD de una de las máximas expresiones musicales de la fusión de las diferentes culturas de su entorno global, guiándonos con destreza y maestría en el manejo de su guitarra.

An incredible depth of feeling and texture.........1999-01-24

A simply wonderful CD. The variety of moods, rhythms, and textures takes you on a wonderful journey. Some of the tracks are *really* different... and so exciting. "Zingar"... "King of Hearts"... and the final combination of "Flowers in the Desert" followed by "Swan Birthday" never fails to set my heart simply soaring. Very highly recommended!

Product Description

Surprise reissue of the most infamous and difficult to procure Sun Ra artifact; originally issued on Amiri Baraka (then LeRoi Jones)'s Jihad label (home of the original Sunny's Time Now by Sunny Murray as well). This is the first release on the DC-based Son Boy label officially sanctioned by Baraka (and mastered from the original tapes that have been sitting in his basement all along). A strange and revolutionary play by Baraka, with musical interludes by the Myth-Science Orchestra. Very, very historic. This is a sort of radio horror play written by LeRoi Jones (Imamu Amiri Baraka) and based on the Nation of Islam story of the evil angel Yaqub. Ra and the Arkestra provide incidental music. The backing is mostly spare and low-volume, so as not to drown out the players. Actors: Amiri Baraka; Carl Boissiere; David Shakes; Bob Washington; Yusef Iman; Barry Wynn. Women's Chorus: Elaine Jones, Jacqui Bugg, Sylvia Jones. Musical backing: Sun Ra-Hohner clavinet, organ; Marshall Allen-alto sax, oboe, piccolo; Danny Davis-alto sax; John Gilmore-tenor sax, percussion; Pat Patrick-baritone sax, percussion; Robert Cummings-bass clarinet; Ronnie Boykins-bass; (probably: Nimrod Hunt-percussion; James Jacson-percussion). When the women are asked to contain the monster with an incantation, they oblige with the melody of Satellites are Spinning.

very impressive.......2003-12-03

First things first: this album is not a new album that was just released on October 21, 2003, as the amazon page suggests. It is the U.S. release of an album that was recorded four years ago. That being said, it is still a great album. I have not heard any of his other recordings so I am unable to compare it to his other work. However, I am quite familiar with many jazz pianists, both past and present. What I like most about Mr. Dominguez is that he broadens the scope of jazz piano by incorporating flamenco and other forms of traditional spanish music into the traditional american jazz form. In that way, he is doing what the pianist Bheki Mseleku from South Africa, the pianist Manfredo Fest from Brazil, and the pianist Jon Jang from China have all done for jazz piano. They have all elevated and broadened the scope of jazz piano by spicing it with elements of their own cultural traditions. The result is warm and delicious music that is timeless. The only reason that I didn't give it the full 5 stars is because the album is a little bit uneven. A few of the songs didn't move me the way a good jazz song is suppose to. I am sure that he can do better. Perhaps he has already done so on his previous albums.
