Tears of Injustice is Mdou Moctar’s acoustic, traditional reimagining of Funeral for Justice, shifting from outrage to grief. Recorded quickly in Brooklyn amid political turmoil in Niger—where the band was stranded after a coup—the album captures the nation’s sorrow through stripped-down, meditative versions of the original songs. Featuring haunting Tuareg call-and-response vocals, Tears of Injustice is a raw, powerful protest steeped in sadness and resilience.
