Tuareg desert blues, boldly reforging contemporary Saharan music and “rock music”
One of the pioneers of modern day Tuareg guitar music / Desert Blues. For fans of Ali Farka Touré, Fatoumata Diawara & Tinariwen.
With Afrique Victime the prodigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter rips a new hole in the sky – boldly reforging contemporary Saharan music and “rock music” by melding guitar pyrotechnics, full-blast noise, and field recordings with poetic meditations on love, religion, women's rights, inequality, and Western Africa’s exploitation at the hands of colonial powers.
