Mdou Moctar (Special Acoustic Performance) with Janel Leppin
Tears of Injustice is Mdou Moctar’s Funeral for Justice completely rerecorded and rearranged for acoustic instruments. It is an evolution of the band’s critically-adored breakout – the meditative mirror-image to the blistering electric original. Here the songs convey the grief of a nation locked into a constant churn of poverty, colonial exploitation, and political upheaval. It is Tuareg protest music in raw and essential form.
