Label: Matador

Tears for Injustice is a new recording of Mdou Moctar’s 2024 album Funeral for Justice performed entirely on acoustic instruments.

Sessions took place at Brooklyn’s Bunker Studio in the summer of 2023 — booked as a way to make use of downtime while the band was briefly stranded in the United Sates in the wake of Niger’s recent military coup.

The arrangements give new dimension to the songs, swapping Funeral’s blistering volume for a more intimate and meditative tone.
