Lately the modern
Sahara sounds like the Mississippi Delta of the Twenties: a font of
world-class musicians exorcising serious blues. Niger's Etran Finatawa
strip down the hypnotic Tuareg guitar style of regional bands like
scene-rulers Tinariwen and newcomers Toumast, often to a single electric
circling an acoustic, with vocals and percussion drawn from the nomadic
Wodaabe tradition. That the Wodaabes and Tuaregs have a war-scarred
history makes this peaceful smolder even more impressive.
