On an evening in early May, Mdou Moctar was at home in Tchintabaraden, a village in the west of Niger, just south of the Sahara Desert. Not long after the sun had dipped beneath the horizon, the Tuareg guitarist broke his Ramadan fast with a light supper milk, salad, and rice spiced with lemon, ginger, and tamarind and picked up the phone to discuss
Afrique Victime, the new album from the band that bears his name. The quality of the call was poor, and we spoke through a French-English translator. Even so, his voice, distant as it was, radiated the same intensity as his playing. ....

Mdou Moctar was halfway around the world, in the middle of a lengthy tour in 2019, when his partner gave birth. The Tuareg guitarist, who hails from the Saharan desert City of Agadez in central Niger and is the latest in a growling line of
tishoumaren (loosely translated to “desert blues”) musicians to find a receptive audience abroad, was already missing his hometown “the vibrations of my environment,” as he put it in a recent interview with ....

The future is here. It’s just not very evenly distributed yet. The man who said that, the author William Gibson, is a pioneer of the science-fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk. Through novels like Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer’, John Carpenter’s 1981 film ‘Escape From New York’ and Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’, cyberpunk imagined a future world connected by digital networks and flying cars. But key to the genre was mayhem. The world it predicted was ramshackle. Chaotic. Punk.
If you’d asked Gibson to name the places which the future had yet to reach, he might well have said the Sahara, a vast desert which even today contends with slow internet speeds and limited transport links. The Saharan city of Agadez, home to guitarist and Tuareg pop star Mdou Moctar, is only accessible by a 28-hour bus ride. And yet, in his origin story, mystical public persona and dazzling musical ability all in full effect on his fifth album Moctar is pretty much cyberpunk personif ....

African futurism through Sahel Sounds

This story was first published on New Frame.
Sahel Sounds is a portal into alternate realities. The small independent label has made music from the greater West African Sahel region accessible over the past decade, including from remote desert areas in Mali, Niger and Mauritania.
