Tuareg rockers Etran de L’Aïr summon celestial grooves at downtown Orlando's Social

One year later and our wigs are still flipped from seeing the volcanic Mdou Moctar at the Social. Well, hold on to your hairpieces because another outfit of Tuareg rock titans are on their way downtown.

Etran de L’Aïr (“Stars of the Air”) are a relatively newer proposition in the world of Tuareg international firebrands. Starting up in 1995 and releasing a string of recent albums on Portland label Sahel Sounds, they’ve made a name for themselves with (yes) celestial grooves and mantric boogies that create a joyous devotional ramble through vibrating sonic vistas.

All this to say, this band is going to be positively hypnotic in the Social.

7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 30, The Social, $20.
