SUMMARY:Etran de L'Aïr with special guests maya ongaku
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nPlaying for over 25 years\, Etran de L’Aïr has emerged as stars of the local wedding circuit. Beloved for their dynamic repertoire of hypnotic solos and sun schlazed melodies\, Etran stakes out a place for Agadez guitar music. Playing a sound that invokes the desert metropolis\, “Agadez” celebrates the sounds of all the dynamism of a hometown wedding. \nEtran is a family band composed of brothers and cousins\, all born and raised in the small neighborhood of Abalane\, just in the shadow of the grand mosque. Sons of nomadic families that settled here in the 1970s fleeing the droughts\, they all grew up in Agadez. The band was formed in 1995 when current band leader Moussa “Abindi” Ibra was only 9 years old. “We only had one acoustic guitar\,” he explains\, “and for percussion\, we hit a calabash with a sandal.” Over the decades\, the band painstakingly pieced together gear to form their band and built an audience by playing everywhere\, for everyone. “It was difficult. We would walk to gigs by foot\, lugging all our equipment\, carrying a small PA and guitars on our backs\, 25 kilometers into the bush\, to play for free…there’s nowhere in Agadez we haven’t played.” \nFrom the days of the Trans-Saharan caravan in the 14th century to a modern-day stopover for Europe-bound migrants\, Agadez is a city that stands at the crossroads\, where people and ideas come together. Understandably\, it’s here where one of the most ambitious Tuareg guitar has taken hold. Agadez’s style is the fastest\, with frenetic electric guitar solos\, staccato crash of full drum kits\, and flamboyant dancing guitarists. Agadez is the place where artists come to cut their teeth in a lucrative and competitive winner-take-all scene. Guitar bands are an integral part of the social fabric\, playing in weddings\, baptisms\, and political rallies\, as well as the occasional concert. \nWhereas other Tuareg guitarists look to Western rock\, 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. It’s perhaps this quality that makes them so beloved in Agadez. “We play for the Tuareg\, the Toubou\, the Zarma\, the Hausa\,” Abindi explains. “When you invite us\, we come and play.” Their music is rooted in celebration\, and invokes the exuberance of an Agadez wedding\, with an overwhelming abundance of guitars\, as simultaneous solos playfully pass over one another with a restrained precision\, forceful yet never overindulgent. \nRecorded at home in Agadez with a mobile studio\, their eponymous album stays close to the band’s roots. Over a handful of takes\, in a rapid-fire recording session\, “Agadez” retains all the energy of a party. Their message too is always close to home. Tchingolene (“Tradition”) recalls the nomad camps\, with a modern take on traditional takamba rhythms transposed to guitars. The dreamy ballad Toubouk Ine Chihoussay (“The Flower of Beauty”) dives into call and response lyrics\, and solos that dance effortlessly over the frets. On other tracks like Imouwizla (“Migrants”)\, Etran addresses immigration with the driving march parallels the nomads’ plight with travelers crossing the desert for Europe. Yet even at its most serious\, Etran’s music is engaged and dynamic\, reminding us that music can transmit a message while lighting up a celebration. This is music for dancing\, after all. \n\n  \nHailing from the seaside communities surrounding Enoshima\, a small island located 50 km southwest of Tokyo\, maya ongaku is a ragtag collective of local musicians whose brand of earthy psychedelia transcends widely beyond the roots of their inner souls. The name derives not from any kind of ancient civilization\, but rather a neologism defined as the imagined view outside one’s field of vision. The band—currently a trio of Tsutomu Sonoda\, Ryota Takano\, and Shoei Ikeda—finds sanctuary at the Ace General Store\, a beachy vintage shop and salon-like space just hidden from sight from the bustling\, touristy riverside Subana Street. Between discussions on music and art\, curating the vinyl section and manning the register\, and chatting up with locals young and old\, the members find time to jam and record their spontaneous ideas in the studio tucked away in the back. It’s in this unlikely setting where maya ongaku finds its origins\, the culmination of what Sonoda describes as 自然発生 (shizen hassei)\, meaning spontaneous generation\, or the supposed production of living organisms from nonliving matter. \nSave 10% with membership! Use unique member number at checkout.
