Etran de L’Aïr is set to perform at the Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, September 19, 2024. The band Etran de L’Aïr (“stars of the air”) is a family collective from the town of Agadez nestled in the mountainous region of northern Niger. The area is known for its music; specifically the hypnotic electric guitar riffs characteristic of the desert blues of North and West Africa, popularized by such artists as Bombino, Tinariwen, and Mdou Moctar. After 25 years of performing, Etran De L’Aïr is no newcomer but certainly a rising star to watch.
