Mdou Moctar announces deluxe version of Afrique Victime with new song "Nakanegh Dich"
Mdou Moctar has announced the digital deluxe version of last year's Afrique Victime album, and has released new song "Nakanegh Dich" to accompany the news.
Afrique Victime was originally released in May 2021, but today (22 February) Mdou Moctar and his band have shared new song "Nakanegh Dich", an outtake from the album sessions, recorded in LA with Rob Schnapf.
Bassist and producer Mikey Coltun says, "This is Mdou's very first time using a wah pedal. At some point, Mdou called Rob into the studio and asked him to control the wah with his foot while Mdou shredded a solo."
"Nakanegh Dich" is one of nine previously unreleased songs that will appear on the deluxe edition of Afrique Victime.
Coltun adds, "These are a mix of demos from Niger and some live tracks from touring around the world, when we were still working out the songs together as a band. These are fun and different early versions of the songs."
