Various Artists – Nouakchott Wedding Songs [Mauritania] – New LP
Regular price
$ 19.00
Raucous and electrified wedding songs from the desert kingdom of Mauritania in Northwest Africa. Luxurious overload of micro-tonal scales, phaser pedals, and unpredictable poly-rhythms. Documentation of a little known music scene where disparate influences meet in beautiful permutations. This is desert music as it’s performed - loud and unfiltered. Comes with 12 page full color booklet (PDF in download). Vinyl limited to 1000.
