Etran Finatawa

Combining the rich nomadic cultures of the Tuareg and Wodaadbe people of the West African country of Niger - country that has been a cross-roads for the North African Arabs for thousands of years - Etran Finatawa blend traditional instruments with electric guitars and the polyphonic songs of the region. The effect is mesmeric and hypnotic, immediately transporting us to a land of vast desert skies, caravans and camel races.
