Thanks for being a member of City Paper! Etran De L’Aïr are a guitar-led band from Agadez, Niger, the same city that acclaimed guitarist Mdou Moctar calls home. But where Moctar melds homegrown guitar stylings with American rock influences, Etran De L’Aïr stick to African inspirations such as Northern Malian blues, Congolese soukous, and Hausa bar band stylings from Agadez.

Thanks for being a member of City Paper! Director Nagisa Oshima’s bold 1968 film operates on a devastating premise: What happens when a Korean man sentenced to death in a Japanese court somehow survives the execution? With a title like Death by Hanging and an opening sequence that lays out a case against capital punishment, one braces the emotions for what must inevitably be a laborious two-hour ordeal. Would you believe the movie is absolutely hilarious?
