Afrique Victime: Vinyl LP

On May 21st, Matador Records will launch Afrique Victime, the eagerly - awaited new album from Mdou Moctar. This prodigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter breaks new ground in music. He combines guitar wizardry, intense noise, and field recordings with profound meditations on love, religion, women's rights, inequality, and Western Africa's colonial exploitation. Mdou Moctar and his band's powerful DIY ethic brings the spirits of Niger's families and communities to the West. Afrique Victime feels like a celestial Tuareg hand reaching down, offering a unique musical lift.

To enjoy Afrique Victime, simply play the vinyl LP on a compatible record player. Make sure the needle is clean and properly aligned for the best sound. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will help maintain the quality of the music and prevent warping. Also, keep the album sleeve clean to protect the vinyl. Enjoy this unique musical journey from Mdou Moctar!
