La Paix
(Sahel Sounds) Used LP $10.00
This garage rock band from Mali loads their battered hand-me-down guitars, drum kit, amplifiers, speakers and generators onto donkey carts, regularly tours throughout off-the-grid farming villages of the Timbouctou area, and blasts their trademark electrified sound under star-filled skies, sometimes getting paid in sacks of rice.

First-ever international release of film soundtrack tunes from Northern Nigeria. Autotuned robotic vocals combine with frenetic drum machines and pitch bending synths for a singular hybrid of local styles and Bollywood influence.
