The record gathers raw recordings of guitar music from the Sahelian region of Niger, showcasing folks we'd likely never get to hear, playing entrancing and often gritty sounds.\n\nLed by guitarist Abdoulaye Bouzou (better known as **Mona**), **Anza de L'Ader** are a top act of Niger, formed in the 1970s. They are one of the heaviest psychedelic orchestras in West Africa. Many Muslims in the region were not accustomed to producing music in the '70s, and there were no studios to record in. But the group has persisted for decades. Their brand of ecstatic rock has links to Anza ritual music, brought into Hendrix-inspired repertoire. '60s psych-rock in the desert of Niger? It's no so far fetched. Taking a quote from Mona (found on Sahel's site):\n\n_“When the Europeans took blacks as slaves in the US, our ancestors who went there brought their culture with them. So they mixed their music with modern instruments, and they created the blues, and that invented rock n roll, rhythm and blues, jazz, everything. The blues comes from here. We sing, we cry, and it brings you just into the trance. We make Bori, we do Voodoo. Our ancestors brought this to the US. Little by little, it took in everyone.”_\n\nComposed in NYC by folkie **Billy Roberts** in '62, \"Hey Joe\" made the L.A. folk-rock rounds, thanks to **The Byrds,** **Love** & **Dino Valenti** , among others. There was a hit version by **The Leaves** in '65 and then **Jimi Hendrix** blew it up the next year. It has since become a rock & blues standard. With Jimi's popularity if Africa, no doubt there are hundreds of bands who have played it in the Motherland. This is a tasty one. At the very least it beats the **Body Count** [version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2qHLuZcBeE). But possibly not better than the **Willy DeVille** _charanga/mariachi_ [version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3QO5TCS-hI).\n\n[Listen here](http://sahelsounds.com/2016/04/mona_heyjoe.mp3), courtesy of Sahel Sounds.\n\nOrder the vinyl LP of _Agrim Agadez_ or download the digitals [here](https://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/album/agrim-agadez).\n\nPurchase the only ever album of Anza de L'Ader [here](http://sahelsounds.com/shop/).\n\nAnd check out [this performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU0ut2DIW_Y) by Anza de L'Ader.

A gorgeous _mbalax_ tune, it's an instrumental cover of a popular classic of Senegalese music originally recorded by **N'dongo Lo**. The tune was a favorite of the band's live set and was recorded back in 2014 but has finally seen release. The track features members of N'dongo Lo's band, as well as Daptone/Ikebe Shakedown horns. Roots percussion, _sabar_ drum and marimba with stunning guitar, this is a dancer's tune.
