August 31, 2019: Mdou Moctar @ WFMU's Monty Hall + Rob & Katie's Labor of Love
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
The phenomenal Tuareg guitarist from Agadez, Niger Mdou
Moctar and his scorching band recently played a sold-out show at WFMU's Monty
Hall. We'll air a substantial portion of that sizzling set on our show this week.
(If you missed them last time, good news: Moctar and band's extensive tour brings them to Brooklyn's Industry City Courtyard 1/2, 274 36th Street, Brooklyn, Wednesday evening
September 4th - with another FMU fave, Brazil's neo-psychedelic Boogarins, opening.)
Mdou Moctar's tour dates are on his Sahel Sounds label web page, https://sahelsounds.com/artists/mdou-moctar/. (More on Sahel Sounds below.)
Check out Mdou Moctar's latest album, the super-charged tour de force Ilana the Creator, at https://mdoumoctar.bandcamp.com/album/ilana-the-
creator.
And of course you can like and follow Mdou Moctar on facebook if you haven't already, at https://www.facebook.com/mdoumoctarofficial/.
Mdou Moctar's music - and that of many more amazing artists from the Sahel - has been brought from West Africa to the world
by the record label Sahel Sounds. Check out Sahel Sounds' fabulous catalog, see
videos, listen to exclusive field recordings and learn lots more at https://sahelsounds.com/.
And it just so happens... that another wonderful group on the Sahel Sounds label, the female trio Les Filles de Illigahad from central Niger, embarks on its US debut tour this fall, including a Tuesday evening October 15th date at Pioneer Works
(159 Pioneer St., Red Hook, Brooklyn). Learn more about Les Filles de Illigahad and see their tour dates at https://sahelsounds.com/artists/les-filles-de-illighadad/.
Moctar's show at Industry City is part of the City Farms
Presents summer concert series there. More info on the series, which runs through the end of September and still
has some pretty exciting shows to come (including Budos Band, Lee Scratch Perry, Guided by Voices and Antibalas), at https://www.cityfarmpresents.com/summerseries.
Also this week: Rob's annual "Labor of Love" DJ duel with his better half Katie Gentile! The eighteenth edition of an annual late summer tradition. Rob Weisberg and longtime sidekick Katie Gentile play radio ping-pong, trading tracks back and forth. Rob bounces popular and unpopular music from around the world off Katie's vintage and contemporary indie rock. It's genre-clashing at its FMU-iest.

Sheepshead Bay’s waters are now hilariously filled with swan poo so it’s nasty. But the waters between Breezy Point and Coney Island are great. If anyone lives in NYC they should try taking the ferry from Wall Street or Sunset Park to the Rockaways. An amazingly nice and simple trip to see NYC from a new angle.

NYC is actually doing a good job of making and keeping parks and waterways clean.
Ken From Hyde Park:
JakeGould:
Maybe things have changed, but it seems like some territorial B.S. to claim that toxicity in the water is better than having the equivalent of a natural filter (aka: an oyster) being toxic.
katie:
Oysters are used in the Hudson, also a lovely swim.
