Moctar, Mdou - Tears of Injustice CD
SKU
39-CD-OLE-2091
“A Tuareg singer/songwriter and guitarist who is known for his innovative and intense playing style. Raised in a small, deeply religious village in central Niger where secular music was frowned upon, Moctar built a crude homemade guitar and secretly began teaching himself how to play. By the time he acquired a real guitar, he learned quickly and began writing songs that blended Saharan Tuareg guitar music with his own unusual innovations and poetic lyrics.
Tears for Injustice is a new recording of Mdou Moctar’s 2024 album Funeral for Justice performed entirely on acoustic instruments.
Sessions took place at Brooklyn’s Bunker Studio in the summer of 2023 — booked as a way to make use of downtime while the band was briefly stranded in the United Sates in the wake of Niger’s recent military coup.”
