さすがに、この手のアフリカ系作品も
旬が過ぎつつあるなぁという印象。
前作より、さらにギターがギンギンだが、
そこの大きな魅力を感じるということはなかった。

In the summer of 2023, Mdou Moctar had wrapped up two years touring their global breakthrough album ‘Afrique Victime’, but found themselves unable to return home. The Tuareg desert rockers were stranded in the US while a military junta overthrew the democratically elected government of Niger and plunged the nation into a state of terrified chaos. The band did not support the coup, but, as eloquently expressed throughout ‘Funeral For Justice’, they didn’t much care for the previous regime’s links to the French colonial past either.
The quartet, led by the guitarist and vocalist of the same name, rage against the subjugation of their people throughout this album, but they are not in defeat; rather, Mdou Moctar are defiant, and challenge their fellow Nigeriens to change their plight.
