Mdou Moctar\u0092s home is Agadez, a desert village in rural Niger. Inspired by YouTube videos of Eddie Van Halen\u0092s six string techniques and traditional Tuareg melodies, he mastered the guitar which he himself built and created his own burning style. A born charismatic, Mdou went on to tell his story as an aspiring artist by writing, producing &amp; starring in the first Tuareg language film: a remake of Purple Rain called Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai &#8211; which translates to \u0093Rain The Color Of Blue With A Little Red In It\u0094, winning the approval of his family and his community. The word and the sound travelled across West Africa via mobile phone data cards, a popular form of local music distribution. Gruelling DIY world tours and albums on the independent US label Sahel Sounds followed, including 2019\u0092s landmark Ilana: The Creator album that earned Mdou Moctar an ecstatic international audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdoumoctar.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mdoumoctar.com<\/a>[\/mk_blockquote][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=&#8221;Tickets&#8221; color=&#8221;sky&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prekindle.com%2Ffind-tickets%2Fid%2F532452769026590596%3F5|target:_blank&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row column_padding=&#8221;5&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1681235921488{border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGeTIzZXdoRmZfaHMlMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTNCJTIwd2ViLXNoYXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1681235957394{border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGdE4yMTNrQ2RiT2slMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTNCJTIwd2ViLXNoYXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10aW1lbGluZSUyMiUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGTWRvdU1vY3RhciUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFVHdlZXRzJTIwYnklMjBNZG91TW9jdGFyJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUyMCUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMGFzeW5jJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRndpZGdldHMuanMlMjIlMjBjaGFyc2V0JTNEJTIydXRmLTglMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thu Apr 27 2023 &#8211; 7:00 PM location: Deep Ellum Art Company [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_blockquote font_family=&#8221;none&#8221;]Prodigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter Mdou Moctar boldly reforges contemporary Saharan music and \u0093rock music\u0093 by melding Eddie Van Halen pyrotechnics, full-blast noise and guitar shredding, field recordings, drums rhythms, poetic meditations on love, religion, women&#8217;s rights, inequality and Western Africa\u0092s exploitation [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
