From Niger. Led by Yacouba Moumouni, a 9-piece band playing both traditional instruments and modern. Great vocals, strong melodies: at times bluesy – at times swinging -- a lot of Africa – a bit of the middle east. It all sounds rather alike after a while, though. Mamar Kassey, by the way, was a famous 16th century warrior.
