Aman Iman ("Water is Life" in Tamashek[1]) is a 2007 album by the Malian band Tinariwen, produced by Justin Adams. The album was recorded in just two weeks in Bamako, Mali. AllMusic praised the album as "a glorious syncopated noise that puts most rockers to shame. But there's a wonderful looseness to the sound."[1] Pitchfork called the album "the most powerful statement they've issued so far"[3] and in the words of the BBC, "Aman Iman successfully balances the upbeat with the plaintive, and density of sound with sparseness."[5]
