Etran Finatawa, from the West African country of Niger, incorporates the diverse traditions of two nomadic cultures – the Wodaabe, known for their striking face painting, percussion and polyphonic songs, and the Kel Tamashek (Tuareg), noted for their “desert blues.” The group’s haunting music has enthralled audiences at Mali’s Festival of the Desert and at venues throughout Europe and North Africa. In 2007, Etran Finatawa was nominated for a BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music. First New York appearance.
