On our strategy to movie at a location out within the bush, Mdou all of a sudden stops the automobile to speak to a man strolling a pair camels. They exchanged numbers. Unbeknownst to me, Mdou was plotting to get 50 camels to point out up on the king of Agadez’s palace the place the well-known Agadez mosque is. This was an concept we had mentioned, however very like a few of our different ideas, I simply kinda mentioned ‘cool’ and assumed it will fall via.
On our final day collectively in Agadez, we confirmed as much as the Sultan’s palace, arrange, after which waited round for a number of hours. Was the present gonna occur? Possibly a number of hours later, 15-20 males using camels confirmed up. I didn’t rely as a result of I used to be so shocked Mdou was capable of pull it off – calling this random man we met within the desert with some camels, who then made some calls to get a bunch of Tuaregs (the youngest was in all probability 5 years previous) to experience out from their village 3-5 hours away to be there for this particular efficiency! Holy shit.
After we began enjoying, Tuaregs wearing conventional Agadez clothes armed with hand drums began dancing and drumming. There have been even a pair buddies of ours who confirmed up with some swords and carried out a conventional dance collectively as we performed. This was all completely unplanned.
