Also interested in early local recordings from them...... somebody got any?manguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197192698819113416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685352848211532436.post-61186213889580305082017-03-04T18:41:52.733+01:002017-03-04T18:41:52.733+01:00yes very interesting group, the only group I'v...yes very interesting group, the only group I've seen yet which reminds me a bit of their style is, at times, Songhoy Blues from Mali. I caught them live last year here in Stans when they played their first (and only one up to now) swiss show. They performed for 90 minutes and were cut short due to festival schedule I believe. The impression was they could have gone on a lot longer and that's what they usually do back at their home in Niamey. Quite a bit of talk between songs with interesting explanations of members' origins and different cultural backgrounds. Band leader Almeyda is tuareg, a big fella who is also a judge I seem to remember. I was there during sound check and he never stopped strumming his guitar. Would be great to find a copy of their first Niger releases but they are apparently nowhere to be found here in the west. Manageer and producer is from the US, thus they have toured there more consistently then europe, but I sure hope they come back again soon.

Thanks for posting this, and I'm going to buy both the Tal National CDs now.Tim Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124807807697034987noreply@blogger.com
