Afrique Victime
With Afrique Victime the prodigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter rips a new hole in the sky Āā boldly reforging contemporary Saharan music and ārock musicā by melding guitar pyrotechnics, full-blast noise, and field recordings with poetic meditations on love, religion, women's rights, inequality, and Western Africaās exploitation at the hands of colonial powers.
The music listeners are the beneficiaries of the staggeringly powerful do-it-yourself musical ethic of Mdou Moctar ā the man and the band ā whoāve worked so hard to bring the spirits of families and communities in Niger to the West. Afrique Victime sounds and feels like a Tuareg hand reaching down from the sky, and we are very lucky for this chance to get lifted.
