Siftorde

Astonishing. So raw and pure. This is what music should be like: unpretentious, skillful, among friends under the stars. This is everything I've ever wanted in a record even though I didn't know it.

Anou Malane
by Abdallah Ag Oumbadougou
supported by 16 fans who also own “Jai Thurng Merng Pan - Myanmar Favourites”
In an interview with Dweezil Zappa, Mdou Moctar cites an Abdallah Oumbadougou concert when he was a child as the moment he knew he needed to play guitar. "Anou Malane" is gritty, politically charged. The drum programming grooves. The tape warped fidelity gives it an otherworldly energy. I wish I knew this record earlier; it feels like one of those obvious missing links that a Westerner listening to Tuareg music remotely may not be aware of. One of my favorite Sahel Sounds releases so far.
