This Alkibar Jr LP is the first album I ever bought on Bandcamp. In 2012, I had just begun uncovering that whole world of Saharan guitar music. I really couldn't believe my ears and I still find it exciting today. I'm pretty sure I heard this band before I heard Mdou. #SahelSounds #AfricansInTheGarage #lol

I got to see #EtranDelAir for the second time last night. What an honor to have a band all the way from #Niger come to play for us. The beautiful, layered, rhythmic sounds laced with twinkling, intertwining guitar lines just makes me ecstatic. Its celebratory music tempered with a depth of emotion brought by the experience of prolonged hardship of the #Tuareg people. It’s rebel music you can dance to. As a #BlackPunk, getting to watch these musicians means a lot. It’s raw, urgent, political and transcendent. #SahelSounds

So, I burned 4 of those albums on cdr as I do with all the Bandcamp releases I buy. So, If anybody is interested in the albums let me know I can WeTransfer the bunch
