LES FILLES DE ILLIGHADAD AT PIONEER WORKS
2021-06-21Les Filles de Illighadad are a Tuareg band, formed in the southern region of Niger. At Pioneer Works is their highly anticipated new album, which was recorded in Brooklyn following a whirlwind 2 year touring period. Combining the folklore and native syncopation of their Tuareg heritage with electric guitars and bass, it feels like a neatly polished snapshot of the nomadic life and sounds of their people. Meditative in its circular melodies and soft refrains and transportative with their lulling group vocals sung in their native language, At Pioneer Works colourfully flaunts a strikingly unique and lesser known culture’s voice.
