SUMMARY:Mdou Moctar at the Foundry Theater
DESCRIPTION:Mdou Moctar – Special Solo Show\n \nSaturday\, May 16\n \n\nProdigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter Mdou Moctar boldly reforges contemporary Saharan music and “rock music“ by melding Eddie Van Halen pyrotechnics\, full-blast noise and guitar shredding\, field recordings\, drums rhythms\, poetic meditations on love\, religion\, women’s rights\, inequality and Western Africa’s exploitation at the hands of colonial powers. \nMdou Moctar’s home is Agadez\, a desert village in rural Niger. Inspired by YouTube videos of Eddie Van Halen’s six string techniques and traditional Tuareg melodies\, he mastered the guitar which he himself built and created his own burning style.  A born charismatic\, Mdou went on to tell his story as an aspiring artist by writing\, producing & starring in the first Tuareg language film: a remake of Purple Rain called Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai –  which translates to “Rain The Color Of Blue With A Little Red In It”\, winning the approval of his family and his community. The word and the sound travelled across West Africa via mobile phone data cards\, a popular form of local music distribution. Grueling DIY world tours and albums on the independent US label Sahel Sounds followed\, including 2019’s landmark Ilana: The Creator album that earned Mdou Moctar an ecstatic international audience. \nThe Foundry is excited to present this special intimate and solo show with Mdou\, marking the close of our 2025-2026 Season.
