Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai OST

by Mdou Moctar

supported by

Gabriel Slick guitar melds with the incense wafting over the camel enclosure. We’re all wrapped in Moroccan blankets, trying not to fall asleep as the mystical rhythms roll over us, not daring to miss a thing. Favorite track: Adounia.

MiKe Kiker Got to catch the film at a special screening in Philadelphia right after Prince's death. Both the film & the music stand on their own as a testament to great artistry. Favorite track: Adounia.

Kinami Takeshi Gives the kind of pleasure that came from Group Bombino's first album. Since Greg Auerbach ruined their next one with overproduction, I'm happy to quench my thirst with the still-fresh sound on this album.

Tim Shiel Bring Mdou to Australia!! Favorite track: Adounia.

The first ever Tuareg language fictional film, based on the legendary rock-u-drama “Purple Rain,” Akounak or "Rain the Color Blue with a Little Red in it" explores the world of a musician trying to succeed in the raucous subculture of the Niger guitar scene. The protagonist, real life musician Mdou Moctar, must battle fierce competition from jealous musicians, overcome family conflicts, endure the trials of love, and overcome his biggest rival - himself. Carried by stunning musical performances from Mdou, the film is a window into modern day Tuareg guitar and an experiment in participatory ethnographic filmmaking. In Tamashek with English and French subtitles; 75 minutes, all region DVD, NTSC format. Limited edition of 1000 copies.
