Purple Rain in the Saharan Desert - Monty Hall Movie Preview

Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments





We're screening something fun and a bit different at the next Monty Hall movie night a week from Saturday: The first ever Tuareg-language rock-u-drama! Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai - or Purple Rain in the Saharan Desert - is a collaboration between first-time filmmaker Christopher Kirkley and the standout artist on Kirkley's Sahel Sounds record label, guitarist and singer Mdou Moctar.

The movie stars Moctar as an aspiring guitar hero overcoming family pressures, a jealous and underhanded competitor, and romantic challenges. Kinda like, well, Purple Rain and other classic music-driven feature films - but shot in the desert city of Agadez, Niger and chock-full of spellbinding psychedelic Sahel guitar music! Akounak is showing one time only, Saturday night November 14th at 8 at WFMU's Monty Hall.

We'll chat with Kirkley and spotlight Mdou Moctar's amazing music on tonight's show.

European listeners - Mdou Moctar is on tour in Europe right now, through the end of November - France & UK + dates in Amsterdam and Istanbul still to come - info at http://sahelsounds.com/2015/10/mdou-moctar-fall-tour-2015/.
