Akaline Kidal mf9 Recorded live over seven nightsIn exile from his city in Northern Mali, singer songwriter Ahmed AgKaedyreturns to the origins of Tuareg folk with sessions of stripped down solo acoustic guitar. Mellow pentatonic notes dance over plaintive vocals, intimate and closemic'd, endearing in their simplicity. Drifting from melancholic ballads and pleas for peace, "AkalineKidal" is a politically charged and poignant recording for a community ripped apart by division and civil war.
