In a genre-defying film, Zerzura follows a young man from a small village in Niger who leaves home in search of an enchanted oasis. His journey leads him into a surreal vision of the Sahara, crossing paths with djinn, bandits, gold seekers, and migrants. Zerzura is a modern folktale transposed onto an acid Western, equal parts Jodorowsky and Jean Rouch. Written and developed with a local Tuareg cast, Zerzura mixes ethnofiction with the genre picture, exploring themes of migration and exoticism through a collaborative approach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes with 12-page booklet.

Heavily based around the electric guitar, Madassane also plays a handful of other in-studio instrumentation (prepared piano, Moog, Timpani) and is joined by a number of collaborators, including guitarist Marisa Anderson. A prolific and backing artist in a number of groups (Mdou Moctar, Les Filles de Illighadad), Madassane is well versed in Tuareg guitar folk and draws inspiration from this tradition before veering off into uncharted territory. Pieces fluctuate in timing and break free from standard rhythm, moving from melancholic serenity to blurry psychedelic fury. An experimental foray for Tuareg guitar, Zerzura is the first of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch the film here:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/ondemand\/zerzura\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\"\u003evimeo.com\/ondemand\/zerzura\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sahel Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46542757757089,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/zura.jpg?v=1781489873","url":"https:\/\/store.greennoiserecords.com\/products\/madassane-ahmoudou-zerzura-new-dvd","provider":"Green Noise Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
