Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar s last album
Ilhana (The Creator) was one of Exclaim! s favourites of 2019, so we re absolutely thrilled to report that the artist is set to return with a new LP this spring.
The latest release from the guitarist is called
Afrique Victime and includes nine new compositions. Among them is Tala Tannam, which has arrived today via a new music video. While the song talks about love, we wanted to show the love between friendships and the love of Niger, the band s producer and bassist Mikey Coltun said. The video includes friends and family in the Tuareg community in villages around Niamey as well as Hausa people from villages in the Dosso region.
