Hump Day: Amar Sundy and "Camel Shuffle"

A Tuareg bringing the blues to France brings us today's random tune, called Camel Shuffle. Amar Sundy is originally from Mauritania but has made a name for himself as an original blues guitarist melding the music of North Africa with American blues he learned at the feet of blues legends such as Albert Collins, BB King, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and Albert King. On top of that, he adds the traditional music of his adopted home, France, where he honed his musicianship as a busker in the Paris Metro. You can find Camel Shuffle on his 2009 release Sadaka, and on the various artists compilation Putumayo Presents: African Blues (2012).
