Pre-order your copy:
In 2020, the Mdou Moctar band met up in Niamey, the capital of Niger, to record a few songs in anticipation of the release of Afrique Victime (May 21st on
@matadorrecords
). One day, we quietly set up in front of the house to film a few songs. Watch here:
Mdou Moctar performances in Niger are no different than the best DIY punk shows in the US. Loud, raw, and gritty. Everyone helps out and it’s a great reminder why communities are important. The energy when playing in Niger is unreal!
