Mdou Moctar meets Elite Beat in a Budget Dancehall!
BIG SOUNDS HERE>>> 3 gems from our sessions last spring with Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar and our house band Elite Beat!
Recorded in the spring of 2017 over 3 evenings in Portland, Oregon. These raw, unedited, live recordings were fueled by laughter, and Azawad gunpowder tea. Live music. The Universal language.
Long form improvised jams, full of Saharan psychedelic guitar journeys, hypnotic rhythm and dub possibilities.
Big thanks to Sahel Sounds for making this cosmic link up a possibility.
Mdou Moctar is on US tour this spring, GO check him and his band in a city near you!!
