Afel Bocoum is among the last of a breakthrough generation of African musicians who cross-pollinated their own traditional music with the new sounds that arrived from all over the world throughout the 20th century.

With the support of executive producers Damon Albarn & Nick Gold, 'Lindé' stitches together the age-old music of the Niger bend.
