Anewal/The Walking Man

Interpreter: Alhousseini Anivolla
Label: Riverboat
Location: Niger

Niger 'desert blues' from the Tuareg Alhousseini Anivolla, who documents his travels from the Saharan desert to the cities and stages of Europe and back again. He notes that 25 years ago, he would sing while tending his animals, and this album is his attempt to recapture the creativeness and spontaneity of that time.
