As the religious fundamentalists take over Mali, destroying historical shrines and driving the population into refugee camps across the borders, the music of the Touareg is collected in an effort to support two NGOs operating in the region in order to fund food, blankets and medicines. A worthy and worthwhile effort, with some compelling tunes from Tinariwen, Tamikrest and more.
