Afrique Victime is the long-awaited new album by Mdou Moctar. The talented Tuareg guitarist and songwriter is bold in his work here as he makes a new fusion sound where contemporary Saharan music and classic rock meet with field recordings, poetic meditations, full on noise and coarse guitars. Topics that get touched on along the way include love, religion, Western Africa's exploitation at the hands of colonial powers and women's rights inequality. It's a devastating record that makes s powerful and inedible mark.
