Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar is currently touring in support of their album Afrique Victime. The group stopped by the Cedar Cultural Center, in Minneapolis, on September 18th, 2021.
Brooklyn’s Pure Adult opened the show. The group had a DIY punk style, incorporating slam poetry/spoken word in songs like “Cam Girls” and their energetic, often animated, performance is a stark contrast to Mdou Moctar’s guitar-driven style.
While different in both music style and performance, the band was a good choice for this tour, as it does offer something new and different for the unexpected fans.
It’s the third time that Mdou Moctar had stopped in Minneapolis. The singer mentioned on stage that he loves Prince and is always honored to come back. While talking about his influences, he also mentioned the next song is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, which you can hear some similar notes from “Purple Haze” in the song. If all this sounds familiar, that’s because Mdou Moctar star in the musical Rain the Color of Blue with A Little Red In It film, which homages Prince’s Purple Rain and Jimi Hendrix.
Mdou Moctar’s Afrique Victime is out now on Matador Records.
