Moctar, Mdou
Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai O.s.t.
This LP features the awesome rocking score for the movie 'Rain The Color Blue With A Little Red In It' (the Tuareg don't have a word for 'purple'), a revolutionary story - or a brilliant re-interpretation of Prince's 'Purple Rain' - of guitars, motorcycles, cellphones and the music of a new generation. The LP offers Mdou Moctar's original compositions for the film about his rise to fame in the city of Agadez, Niger, ranging from the raucous heavy psychedelic to the beautiful pentatonic sublime. A reverb heavy intermission film score!
