Folk Music of the Sahara

Sight and sound captured among the Tuareg and Libyan people of Northern Central Africa, creating one of the most unique overviews of Saharan folk music and dance. If you ever wondered where some of western music’s more exotic ideas originated from (Sun Ra’s Arkestra/call-and-response and choruses/trance drumming, and even some forms of modern hip-hop) this anti-escapist world music film is a place to start.
