Description

Etran de L'Aïr (or “stars of the Aïr region”) is a group of brothers and cousins from Agadez, Niger that have honed their chops playing weddings. Their latest album of Saharan rock music may take them to new places, but it was only made with the people of their homeland in mind. “We play for the Tuareg, the Toubou, the Zarma, the Hausa,” says bandleader Moussa “Abindi” Ibra. “When you invite us, we come and play.” Etran’s music is engaged and dynamic, reminding us that music can transmit a message while lighting up a celebration. This is music for dancing, after all. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see this band perform on its first US Tour ever, we are humbled and grateful to be hosting them on the patio at Argus Bar & Patio Sunday April 16th in Downtown Chico. Advanced tickets $15, or $20 dollars at the door. Also, featuring the debut performance from Disaster Reel. A night of hypnotic music, listening ears required!
