About Mdou Moctar:
Mdou Moctar immediately stands out as one of the most innovative artists in contemporary Saharan music. His unconventional interpretations of Tuareg guitar and have pushed him to the forefront of a crowded scene. Mdou shreds with a relentless and frenetic energy that puts his contemporaries to shame.
Ever since his debut, Moctar's music is based on rock, more specifically the Tuareg-produced Tishoumaren, a variation of desert blues. Moctar's first album, Anar, contained auto-tune and drum machines. Moctar's album Ilana: The Creator contained fierce guitar solos, while Afrique Victime, though significantly similar, was more politically charged. Moctar's album Funeral for Justice significantly expanded Moctar's range, with a more aggressive and "in your face" style.
