#Mdou Moctar Signs to Matador, Shares Video for New Song “Chismiten”: Watch

Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar has signed with Matador Records and shared a new song called “Chismiten.” The track comes with a video that combines illustrations by artist Robert Beatty with animation and cellphone footage shot in Niger, including the markets in Niamey and Agadez and the famous Agadez Mosque. Watch the visual, made by Sabrina Nichols, below.

“The song is about how people in a relationship lose their sense of self, they become jealous and envious of others,” Mdou Moctar said. “It is not about one specific person, but about all people in the world. I turn to Allah for guidance not to be that person.”

Mdou Moctar performed the lead guitar and vocals on “Chismiten.” He’s backed by Ahmoudou Madassane (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Michael Coltun (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Souleymane Ibrahim (drums, backing vocals).

Mdou Moctar’s forthcoming LP for Matador is due out in 2021. It will follow last year’s Ilana: The Creator.
