If "Funeral For Justice" was the sound of outrage, this is the sound of grief. Mdou Moctar presents "Tears Of Injustice", a complete re-recording and rearranging (for acoustic and traditional instruments) of their previous album, "Funeral For Justice". It's an evolution of the band's critically adored breakout, and the meditative mirror-image to the blistering original. 

On "Funeral For Justice", anger at the plight of Niger and the Tuareg people is plainly expressed in the music's volume and velocity; on "Tears Of Injustice", the songs retain that weight sans amplification.

They are steeped in sadness, conveying the grief of a nation locked into a constant churn of poverty, colonial exploitation, and political upheaval. It is Tuareg protest music in a raw and essential form. It retains heaviness, but it's haunting.
