  • Live in Niamey, Niger.
    In winter 2020, the Mdou Moctar band met up in Niamey, the capital of Niger, to record a few songs in anticipation of the release of, Afrique Victime (May 21st on Matador Records). We were staying on the outskirts of town at a friend's home. One day, we quietly set up in front of the house to film a few songs. Despite our relative isolation, the noise of the band inevitably attracted a crowd. What started as the four of us simply playing a few songs for a camera turned into a three-night run of rowdy concerts, bringing in hundreds of eager listeners. Each night, kids from all over the city would line up at our door, rushing over after their final evening prayer. These performances were completely spontaneous and wholly unplanned. Thanks to our audience, we were able to capture the spectacular energy of a typical Niamey concert for you. We're thrilled about it and hope you will be, too. Enjoy!

      I thought the same exact thing. Of the 1,000 shows we did, one of the memorable ones I remember was an outdoor show where we got kids to come up on stage for a song. I was at the foot of the stage and saw the kids faces as they were walking down and the word 'bliss' is the perfect description.

    Psychedelic rock and traditional african rythm ?
    United by the trance aspect of both genres I'd say...

    イントロの2音間のプリング・ハンマリングで、リズムが揺れてグルーヴィーなので単調に聞こえないのが凄い…!
    みのさんもおっしゃってましたが、タイム感・リズム感が本当に素晴らしいですね!
