Etran de L’Aïr

Nigeria’s Etran de L’Aïr released a new LP on the imprint last fall, and 100% Sahara Guitar finds the legends of Agadez making desert blues that are a little less freewheeling or proggy than Mdou Moctar or Tinariwen. Instead, the quartet puts to tape bright, almost choral, desert blues that’s rooted in the tradition of its home country, too.—Ray Roa
