MDOU MOCTAR + SAHEL SOUNDS @ ESPACE B

MDOU MOCTAR (musique touareg / sahel sounds / niger)

Mdou Moctar hails from Abalak, in the Azawagh desert of Niger. He taught himself the guitar at a young age on a homemade instrument. Inspired by returning Ishumar, Mdou traveled the road to Libya where he traveled and worked odd jobs. As chance had, he would meet some of the now famous guitarists and further his musical studies. He returned home with a guitar and a dream.
