On 'Afrique Victime' the prodigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter rips a new hole in the sky - boldly reforging contemporary Saharan music and 'rock music' by melding guitar pyrotechnics, full-blast noise, and field recordings with poetic meditations on love, religion, women's rights inequality, and Western Africa's exploitation at the hands of colonial powers.

Reviews"Moctar occasionally swaps his Strat for an acoustic guitar but mostly they keep their structures simple and hypnotic.", "Moctar’s Van Halen-inspired electric shred is one element among many on AFRIQUE VICTIME, sharing space with acoustic folk-rock, drum machines, atmospheric group vocals and field recordings captured in his native Niger.", Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "When his voice and guitar work together on the title cut, the effect is truly transcendent.", "It's a gorgeous set, at times brimming with nostalgia while at others showcasing the kind of searing guitar riffs which slot nicely into the psych-rock revival of the past decade."

Additional InformationThe Tuareg guitar hero's sixth album is a diverse and deeply satisfying amalgam of desert blues and Western flair.
