Music from the ancient city of Chinguetti in the Mauritanian Sahara. Moudou ould Mattalla on solo electric guitar explores and improvises around the various modes of Moorish music, accompanied by the voices and percussion of a group of local young women.

Reviews

Songlines - Nigel Williamson

The basic sound is unmediated by Western influence and characterised by a rawness that makes even Tinariwen sound slick and polished.

fRoots - Rich Sanders

If you like Tinariwan, or Robbit Krieger's guitar as heard in The End step this way. If ever there was a desert blues, this is it, and not a bent string in sight.
