YouTube - Bambino Concert, Agadez

Some of the most interesting modern music is coming from the edges of the Sahara Desert -- Issa Bagayogo and Tinariwen from Mali, and now Bambino from Agadez, Niger.

This is mood music, an emphasis on rhythms. Put it on when you get home from work and you're somewhere ancient and else.

From the blurb of the video above:

February 11, 2010 -- Tuareg musician Bambino from Agadez, Niger performs with his band at the foot of the ancient Grande Mosque attended by close to a thousand people. At the edge of the Sahara Desert, Agadez has been cut off from the rest of the world due rebellions and floods for three years. This concert gave Agadez a chance to celebrate its culture and heritage, ushering in a new generation of Tuareg. A new double CD, feature documentary and world tour are planned for the Fall of 2010.
