Description

The Sahara SessionsThe Sahara Sessions was recorded deep in the desert. Sheltered only by an animal skin tent and the vast canopy of midnight stars, Etran Finatawa played their guitars and sang straight from the heart. Each poignant song and every slap of the calabash drum articulating the deep set divisions in the Sahel region that are threatening their Nomad way of life.
