About this event
Etran is a family band composed of brothers and cousins all having grown up in Agadez, Niger. The band was formed in 1995 when current band leader Moussa “Abindi” Ibra was only 9 years old.
Etran de L’Aïr play in a pan-African style that is emblematic of their hometown, citing a myriad of cultural influences, from Northern Malian blues, Hausa bar bands, to Congolese Soukous. But ultimately focusing on a North-African style of Tuareg guitar. Their style is fast with frenetic electric guitar solos, staccato crash of full drum kits, and flamboyant dancing guitarists.
Since 1995, the band painstakingly pieced together gear to form their band and built an audience by playing everywhere, for everyone. From walking to gigs by foot, lugging all equipment to carrying a small PA and guitars on their backs to play in the bush.
