Last year, the members of Mdou Moctar convened in Niger to complete their then-unfinished album, Funeral For Justice, and to capture a series of live sets in the region surrounding Agadez, a historically important hub.
Now released is the first of these sessions: The Agadez Folders: Live at Sultan’s Palace. It features Mdou Moctar performing a complete electric live set at the King’s Palace in the city’s centre. The band are joined by traditional dancers, swordsmen, and upwards of 20 camels with the Agadez Grand Mosque visible against the horizon.
