Tlebi by Noura Mint Seymali

There's something almost other-worldly about the sound of Mauritanian modern music. It's a swirling, shimmering blend of electric guitar and traditional instruments and singing. This captivating music is rarely heard in New York. So when we heard that acclaimed singer Noura Mint Seymali & Jeiche Ould Chighaly and their band were coming to town, there was no choice but to bring them to WFMU for a live session too!  Massive thanks to our illustrious mix engineer Gil Shuster and assistant Jason Sigal!
