Etran de L’Aïr w/ Maya Ongaku
Etran is a band of brothers and cousins, all born and raised in the shadow of the grand mosque. Sons of nomadic families that settled here in the 1970s fleeing the droughts, they all grew up in Agadez. The band was formed in 1995, when current band leader Moussa “Abindi” Ibra was only 9 years old. “We only had one acoustic guitar,” he explains, “and for percussion, we hit a calabash with a sandal.”
Since then they have become famous in the region, and will light up Tumbleroot with a sound that invokes their desert metropolis.
Doors open at 6:30. Tickets $20. Get yours HERE!
