Etran de L'Aïr - 100% Sahara Guitar (Transparent Blue Vinyl)

Etran de L’Aïr the STARS OF THE AÏR, the longest running wedding band in
AGADEZ, capital of Tuareg guitar, return with a new album of sun-schlazed desert sound! Their first album, No.1, brought their music
to critics and fans. Their second album, Agadez, sent them into the international touring circuit. And now they're back with 100%
SAHARA GUITAR, ready to take on the world, with those swinging melodies, like a sandstorm blowing in from across the sea. Etran de
L’Aïr are 100% SAHARA, and that goes same for the band, all sons of AGADEZ, including brothers Moussa, Abdoulaye, and
Abdourahamane, and their dear friend, the youngest of the group, Alghabid. All the brothers write and play guitar, swapping out
instruments while Alghabid keeps the FOUR ON THE FLOOR. In 100% SAHARA GUITAR, Etran de L’Aïr are back to claim the throne,
with their first studio album! And what a sound it is. Recorded in sunny studios on the WEST COAST, the brothers take that old Agadez
sound to new levels, adding even more guitars into the mix, weaving layers of reverb-laden melodies and shimmering harmonies into a
tapestry of sound. How much guitar can they fit into one record? The answer is 100%. “Etran’s brand of Sahara blues sounds more
live-wired and unfettered than any of their peers." The Wire // "Etran de L’Aïr, from central Niger, plays giddy and mesmeric rock songs"
