Sani, Mammane – “La Musique Electronique Du Niger” – [Sahelsounds]

Cousin Mary   2/18/2014   12-inch, International

Mammane Sani’s music has been used as background in Niger for radio and television. This album comes from a recently discovered 1978 cassette where he plays an electric organ for melodies and a hint of percussion. It features repetitive, simple themes and mellow tempos. One internet reference I found says the music incorporates traditional African tunes.

PGM: Face B has an unlisted track 4.
