Album Notes & Community Reviews
Captured entirely during live, open-air wedding performances in Niger, this recording rawly documents the kinetic energy of Mdou Moctar's virtuosic fretwork. 'Afelan' showcases his highly distinctive, left-handed acoustic guitar playing, translating traditional Tuareg melodies into an electrifying, hypnotic desert rock groove.
