If Funeral for Justice was the sound of outrage, Tears of Injustice is the sound of grief.
Mdou Moctar’s new album is Funeral for Justice completely re-recorded and rearranged for acoustic and traditional instruments. It is an evolution of the band’s critically-adored breakout the meditative mirror-image to the blistering original.
On Funeral for Justice, anger at the plight of Niger and the Tuareg people is plainly expressed in the music’s volume and velocity.
On Tears, the songs retain that weight sans amplification. They are steeped in sadness, conveying the grief of a nation locked into a constant churn of poverty, colonial exploitation, and political upheaval. It is Tuareg protest music in raw and essential form. When Mdou writes the lyrics, he typically writes them with an acoustic guitar. So you’re getting closer to that original moment, says Coltun. It retains heaviness, but it’s haunting.
Format – CD, LP & Limited Edition Sky Blue Coloured Vinyl LP
