Luxus Live provides comprehensive production, management, booking and PR services for Noura Mint Seymali worldwide as well as record production on her first international releases - Tzenni (2014) & Arbina (2016) - available via Glitterbeat Records on CD / Vinyl / digital formats:
“The arrival of Mauritanian vocalist Noura Mint Seymali in front of Western audiences feels like the start of a new era”
“The seemingly effortless way Tzenni straddles new and traditional music makes it one of the finest African albums this year.”
“Tzenni is an excellent new album by a preternaturally talented singer. This is an album of gutsy, declamatory playing and singing...Impressive.”
“Noura Mint Seymali has put out arguably the best psych blues album of 2014. (Tzenni, 2014)
—
Best Album in the Universe! ...Not one of the best “world music” albums, whatever that means, but one the best albums. Full stop. Period. (Arbina, 2016)”
“[Luxus Live] has harnessed the crackle of a marketplace cassette-stall sound system, but framed it with some New York studio sheen. 5 stars.”
“[Tzenni] est une déflagration tellurique...Solaire comme put l’être Sun Ra, ravageuse comme le fut Howlin’ Wolf, ethnocentrée et universelle tout à la fois...Depuis Nouakchott et les déserts mauritaniens, la mise en orbite d’une étoile.”
