From Mamman Sani's album 'La Musique Electronique du Niger'
Available on LP, CD, and digital at http://smarturl.it/mammansani

Mamman composes in a technique that can only be called minimal, relying on simplicity and space. It is a remarkable manipulation of sound that uses the silence to invoke the emptiness - a metaphoric desert soundscape. Unsurprisingly, his source material is folkloric Nigerien music, and many of the compositions on this record are reproductions of ancient songs brought into the modern age. Interpreting this rich and varied history of Niger’s dance and song for the first time in contemporary music, Mamman electrifies the nomadic drum of the Tuaerg, the polyphonic ballads of the Woddaabe, and the pastoral hymns of the Sahelian herders. Accompanying this repertoire are a few compositions, such as \"Salamatu,\" the deeply personal love letter to an unrequited romance.
