Sahara blues with an abundance of guitars and hypnotic solos
Etran de L’Aïr (the stars of Aïr) welcomes you to the sound of Agadez, the capital of Saharan blues, they say. The band from Niger consists of brothers and cousins and has been playing together for more than 25 years. Characterized by hypnotic solos and an abundance of guitars, Etran de L’Aïr is part of the same scene as Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar and Bombino. Last year they released their best received album so far under the name ‘Agadez’. They have previously performed in the Netherlands at Valkhof festival and Le Guess Who?, and this summer they will make their first appearance at EKKO.
