Etran de L'Aïr

Nigerian Tuareg desert blues, 90s revival

Headliner


Etran de L'Aïr, founded in the mid‑1990s in Agadez, blends traditional tamasheq chants with electric guitars and hypnotic rhythms, drawing on influences from North‑Malian blues, Congolese soukous, and Hausa‑bar music. The group has gained international acclaim with albums such as No.1 and Agadez, and is returning with the 100% Sahara Guitar project.

SOBA

SOBA

Burkinabé afro‑blues, mandingue roots


SOBA, a trio of Moussa Koita (guitarist‑singer), Vincent Bucher (harmonicist), and Émile Biayenda (drummer), merges Mandingue folk traditions with Mississippi blues. The group, formed over six years, is known for its rustic yet luminous afro‑blues sound, exploring the depths of human emotion through a blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation.
