Tinariwen, who will perform at the Barns at Wolf Trap on April 19, is the band that in 1979 invented what they call tishoumaren or assouf and many others know simply as desert blues, the Sahara Desert's greatest musical export.

Like the Velvet Underground, Tinariwen has inspired the creation of a plethora of younger bands.  My favorite of all of them is Tamikrest (pictured above), whose new album Kidal will be released in the USA on March 31.

This week on Global A Go-Go, you'll hear a set from each of these two bands: a great opportunity to compare and contrast the first two generations of desert blues.

Also this week: touring the Caribbean, Swahili rumba inspired by last week's visit by the Nile Project, new Latin sounds from Colombia and Puerto Rico, and a ticket giveaway.
