Welcome to Agadez, the capital city of Saharan rock! Stars of their local wedding circuit, Etran de L’Aïr (or “stars of the Aïr region”) are beloved for their dynamic repertoire of hypnotic solos and sun-schlazed melodies.
Their music is rooted in celebration, and invokes the exuberance of an Agadez wedding, with an overwhelming abundance of guitars. Whereas other Tuareg guitarists look to Western rock, Etran de L’Aïr play in a pan-African style that is emblematic of their hometown, citing a myriad of cultural influences, from Northern Malian blues, Hausa bar bands, to Congolese Soukous.
