Mdou Moctar

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.

Tuareg guitarists have a certain tone distinct from anyone else. A different shade of blues is how I can best describe it. 

That's a good way to phrase it. And "A Different Shade of Blues" would be a great title for one of their albums.

Damn. Amazing! Tone, technique, originality and soul. All of them. I needed this today Steve. 

Shout out to the bass player as well. 

The whole band is great. I picked up "Blue Stage Session" on Bandcamp. Similar kind of relatively short live show, same killer playing.
