So much good listening falls under unfamiliar (but interesting) and familiar (but pleasant).
Ten people // ten guitars // ten field recordings from Niger. Nary a word of English, only the barest flirtations with anything Western, except those guitars: strummed, plucked, slammed electric, over shuffling, circular beats - unfamiliar but intimate, welcoming, every string tied to a tincan. There's sincerity and humanity to spare, and you're invited to use your brain as much as you see fit, to ruminate on guitars and the people behind them, or to just slip into the web of rhythm 4/5
