MDOU MOCTAR: ELECTRIC TUAREG

When Tuareg musicians pick up electric guitars, something psychedelic and spectacular happens almost every time. This track we’re sharing is brand new and called ‘Funeral For Justice’ and comes from the brilliant Mdou Moctar.

It’s firebrand stuff and taking names and numbers and kicking all kinds of ass. We love it.

The track is from the new album of the same name and follows up on their ace ‘Afrique Victim’, and in the press release, it says this new one “captures the Nigerien quartet in ferocious form. The music is louder, faster, and more wild. The guitar solos are feedback-scorched and the lyrics are passionately political. Nothing is held back or toned down.”

That’s whetting the appetite isn’t it? Get stuck in.
