Watch Mdou Moctar’s Tiny Desk Concert
Mdou Moctar, the Tuareg guitarist inspired by the traditional melodies of rural Niger and the bellowing shreds of Eddie Van Halen, is the latest artist to perform on NPR's Tiny Desk (Home) series. The new episode comes a few days after Moctar shared his great new album Afrique Victime, and three of its songs — "Ya Habibti," "Tala Tannam," and "Afrique Victime" — get performed.
