Mdou Moctar
30 July
The Tuareg guitar scene may be crowded, but Mdou Moctar stands out, pushing the boundaries of the genre. The tunes from his psychedelic and somewhat electronic debut Anar, featuring autotuned vocals, went viral through cell-phone music trading networks, becoming ever-so-popular once Sahel Sounds released them on the Music from Saharan Cellphones: Volume 1 compilation. 2013’s Afelane captures the raw and intense energy of Moctar’s live sessions back in his hometown in Niger.
