SteveZ98 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) The best guitar player you've never heard of is a Tuareg musician from Niger. His name is MDou Moctar. He is rightly the star of the shown in the video below, but the entire band is extremely tight, and the drummer is an absolute beast.

SteveAJones Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Tuareg guitarists have a certain tone distinct from anyone else. A different shade of blues is how I can best describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
