Operating originally as a local wedding band, this family collective from Northern Niger captures the vibrant, communal energy of their live performances. The record features brightly distorted, interlocking electric guitars that play relentless, hypnotic Tishoumaren (desert blues) rhythms designed to inspire spontaneous dancing and celebration.
