African guitar wizard Mdou Moctar is suddenly everywhere. We heard him on Music From Saharan Cellphones first, loved his new album Afrique Victime, and dug his contributions to ThisSmallPlanet.com's 2021 Album of The Year Superwolves, featuring Matt Sweeney and Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
Thought we heard hints of Mdou on Parquet Courts new album. It will be interesting to see them on the same bill, with Mdou opening for Parquet Courts. They are doing 16 shows together in the U.S. and Canada in February and March. Prior to the tour with Parquet Courts, Mdou has a couple of solo shows. Afterwards, he has several solo shows in the U.S. and Europe.
