Mdou Moctar have actually shared a video for their new song “Imouhar.” The track is extracted from the Nigerien band’s upcoming cd, Funeral service for Justice, which is out May 3 by means of Toreador. Take a look at the vibrant, eye-popping video, guided by Lauren Greenhall, listed below.
“Imouhar,” according to the team, contacts “the Tuareg people to which the band belong to preserve their Tamasheq language.” “People here are just using French,” Mdou Moctar claimed in a press declaration. “They’re starting to forget their own language. We feel like in a hundred years no one will speak good Tamasheq, and that’s so scary for us.”
Funeral Service for Justice is Mdou Moctar’s follow-up to 2021’s Afrique Victime, in addition to succeeding launches Afrique Refait, Niger EP Vol. 1, and Niger EP Vol. 2.
