Watch Kurt Vile bust out a jam with Tinariwen at Union Transfer

Last night, Tinariwen took over Union Transfer for a night of relaxed jams, and while the Tuareg artists blew away the crowd with tunes and tones from the African desert, they wanted to throw a little bit of this city in.

Out of nowhere, Philly’s own Kurt Vile came on stage (introduced with an endearing “This is our friend…. It’s okay?”), sitting in on their atmospheric song “Tiwayyen”, a tune he guested on on the band’s new record Elwan.

Watch the clip below (thankfully captured by our friend Dan De Luca of the Philadelphia Inquirer), and check out Tinariwen’s video for “Sastanàqqàm.”
