GENRE : African guitar, tuareg guitar, world, minimalist folk
RECORD LABEL : Sahel Sounds
Fatou Seidi Ghali is one of only two known Tuareg women guitarists in Niger, and she's sublime. Recorded in the open air of the desert, this is wonderful minimalist Tuareg folk music, mostly centered around fingerpicked guitar (some of it obviously improvised) but occasionally accompanied by beautiful heartfelt vocals and some tende - a Tuareg drum made out of a mortar. I thought I heard a bit of some kind of flute instrument in there too, but I'm not entirely sure. What I do know is that this is beautiful music. Check out the video of Fatou Seidi Ghali playing under a tree, posted down below.
