Moving Towards Heavier: Still Awesome
by Tranquilo on 3/25/229:30 CLUB - WashingtonSo Moctar started in a more folk/acoustic vein and then has been getting heavier. His latest album marks that, as obviously the current show. My own description is if Jimi Hendrix had been born in a nomad camp in the Sahara, this is it. Unfiltered psychedelic trance jams but through a different orientation. AND a new drummer who plays out of his mind all the time; reminds me of Keith Moon at 100% with no inhibition. It takes a lot to get me to a live show, but this totally worth it. Note: the crowd who loved him, was the NPR/PBS type; white, a little older for the venue, and open to world experience, one block from Howard University.
