Achibaba

See this content in the original post

In our highlighted track “Achibaba,” Niger’s Les Filles de Illighadad pen song that makes you feel like a baby opening his eyes onto the world for the first time. We shit you not.

Listen to the picked guitar – it makes a gentle crescendo at the start of the song like a sun rising. Around noontime the beautiful voice of une fille greets the shining star at its apex. You can feel the breeze blowing, see the blue sky, hear a fraction of a flute – and then it’s gone. The scene is set, and the rest of the album follows.

Elsewhere Les Filles de Illighadad foreground the choral chant of their pastoral home. Shout out to the 17:51 groupchant throwdown to close the self-titled album Les Filles de Illighadad.
