[Upcoming album] Mdou Moctar - Afrique Victime
Whooo, Mdou Moctar is releasing new music!
I loved Ilana: The Creator when it came out in 2019, so I'm really excited to hear about the album he's releasing soon.
Afrique Victime will be available in late May, and honestly, I'm tempted to preorder it, because the two preview tracks that have been put out so far are so damn good.
You can listen to them at Bandcamp over here.
The first track, "Chismiten", is also up on youtube here. It has that same full, alive energy that I fell in love with the first time I heard Mdou Moctar's music. That amazing electric guitar work, wow!
The second preview track, "Tala Tannam" (here) is much different - it has a slow, lovely, gentle sound, and I think I could listen to it a million times over... It's just really beautiful.
If you love rock, or want to try some neat music from Niger, give these a try! ...And then go back and listen to the whole of Ilana: The Creator while you're at it. ;V You won't regret it.
