Fierce advocates for their people’s nomadic culture that exists in the desert borderlands between Mali and Algeria\, Tinariwen’s bluesy\, guitar-driven music has found global acclaim over the past two decades for its lively blend of Tamasheq-language politicism\, syncopated rhythms and soaring melody. On Hoggar\, their tenth album\, they now stake their claim as elders of this Tuareg musical tradition\, going back to their early years of songwriting with acoustic guitars and communal singing around the desert campfire\, while also passing the torch onto a younger generation of featured musicians who can continue to keep the flame of rebellion and defiance alive. \nTypically choosing to record their albums among the arid flatness of the Central Saharan desert and tuning into the sounds of nature as they find their melodies\, recent years and the political unrest in Mali have seen the band forced to find new locations for their creativity. Founding members of the band have relocated to Algeria and when it came to making their tenth record\, they found a new home in a studio set up by younger Tuareg band Imarhan in the southern city of Tamanrasset. \nCo-presented with MODO-Live URL:https://districtlocal.com/event/tinariwen/ LOCATION:Chan Centre for the Performing Arts\, 6265 Crescent Road\, Vancouver\, V6T 1Z1\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://districtlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/Tinariwen_VAN_1200x628.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260905T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260905T190000 DTSTAMP:20260721T203515Z CREATED:20260721T203515Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260721T203515Z UID:10018622-1788606000-1788634800@districtlocal.com SUMMARY:Nikkei Matsuri: Japanese Summer Festival DESCRIPTION:Experience a Japanese summer festival\, kicking off with an outdoor dance party for all ages featuring local DJ beats and food vendors in the festive garden.

Her songs explore transformation\, connection\, and the possibilities that emerge when we embrace change with curiosity and grace. \nHer latest album\, Devotion & The Black Divine\, named one of the top Albums of the Year by both BBC and Apple Music\, is a meditation on the natural world\, our inner selves\, and the power of recognizing one’s own divinity. Recorded live-to-tape in London\, the work is deeply influenced by anaiis’ new experience as a mother. She embraces softness as strength\, and the self as ever-changing. With her “gorgeous voice” that “expertly shifts from a restrained falsetto to a deep\, rich alto” (Pitchfork)\, anaiis explores what it means to be unabashedly human. \nBorn in Toulouse and raised between Dakar\, Dublin\, and Oakland\, anaiis brings a distinctly global perspective to her music. With each new release\, she traces a lineage of diasporic collaboration and cross-cultural kinship. She arrives at the Chan Centre for her Canadian debut with gentle\, powerful music\, creating a world where the ego is left outside and fear gives way to possibility. Step inside\, there’s room for all of us.
