Veteran noise-rocker Kim Gordon and jungle revivalist DJ Nia Archives were among the final day’s other highlights
It was another mercifully dry day at Glastonbury, but it wasn’t Mdou Moctar’s idea of summer. In Niger, he told the Park stage audience, glancing dubiously at the grey clouds above, the Somerset summer would qualify as winter. Very well: his electric guitar would have to do the scorching. Moctar is nicknamed the “Hendrix of the Sahara”. He is a member of the semi-nomadic Tuareg people, known for a type of guitar music called desert blues.
Real name Dehaney Nia Lishahn Hunt, the London-based producer and DJ stood at her decks high up on a shiny bulbous structure. Old-school jungle, rave and drum-and-bass were played in the first part of her set. Then she descended to the front of the stage to sing songs from her fine debut album, Silence Is Loud. Lightly conversational vocals were backed by a fast patter of beats, a winning contrast.
